Young, fast, and winnin’ all the awards

The future is bright.

Year six of the rebirth of Coupeville High School cross country featured eight runners advancing to state, with the Wolf boys claiming 10th place in the team standings — their best showing since the late ’70s.

Every harrier who made the trip to Pasco, and 15 of 18 on the roster, can return next season, when CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting will also get an influx of promising new freshmen.

But before looking ahead to what fall 2024 might bring, the Wolves joined the awards banquet scene Tuesday, putting a wrap on this go-round.

Sophomore Noelle Western and junior Carson Field, both now two-time state qualifiers, earned Most Valuable Runner status to headline the shindig.
