They roared in pink.
Wearing colored wrist bands to show support for the battle against breast cancer, Coupeville Middle School cross country runners came up big Thursday at a meet in Sultan.
The Wolf girls stunned perennial powerhouse Langley, winning a team title in a tight race to the finish.
Coupeville, which put five runners in the top 20, finished with 48 points to their next door neighbor’s 52.
On the boys side, Lakewood ran away with the team title, with Coupeville finishing fifth.
Langley did win both individual titles, with Sienna Nissen and Rowan Jung topping the girls and boys, respectively.
The meet drew 122 runners in all.
CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting was thrilled with the team win, and her runners got to enjoy a wild time along the way.
“They had an adventurous afternoon,” she said. “The course was wet and muddy. They crossed many bridges, and saw lots of salmon swimming in the streams.”
