The circle is complete.
Ending the season where it also began, the Coupeville Middle School cross country squad competed Wednesday at the Cascade League Championships.
Meet host Langley swept both team titles during the 140-runner event, while Coupeville claimed fourth in the girls race, and sixth in the boys.
Individual titles went to Reed Atwood of Langley and Caleb Greenland of Lakewood.
Coupeville placed a runner on the awards stand, with 8th grader Noelle Western claiming 9th place in the girls race.
The Wolves sent 15 runners to the line, with eight of the nine who competed in the season opener coming back around to set a PR on the same course.
“It’s always nice to finish where we first started the season,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “So many PR’s, and so many happy faces!
“I am very proud of these athletes,” she added.
“I wish the 8th graders the best of luck in high school and I hope to see everybody else return in the fall! GO WOLVES!!!”
