Up the hill they came, one after another.
As I waited to turn out onto Highway 20 from Sherman Road the other day, a wave of Coupeville Middle School cross country runners worked their way past, conquering the somewhat steep rise of the Kettles trail.
Leading into their season opener Saturday at the 44th Carl Westling Invitational in Langley, the Wolves are putting in the miles for new head coach Amber Wyman.
A look at athletic.net confirms CMS has a deep roster, with 29 harriers listed, with 16 of those being girls.
While only time will tell if they all make it through the complete five-meet season, here’s a look at who’s who at the moment.
