Cold or no cold, he’s off to the big swim.

Coupeville High School sophomore Finn Price, a one-man aquatic team, overcame poor health to qualify for the state swim meet in two events.

After training and traveling with Kamiak since CHS doesn’t have a pool program, the lone Wolf went his own way for the postseason.

Vying in multiple events at the district meet in Anacortes this past weekend, Coupeville’s water king overcame foes from bigger schools to advance.

Now Price, who reps a 2B school, will swim in the 100 and 200 free at the 2A state meet Feb. 15-17 at the King County Aquatic Center.

He’s seeded 11th in the 200 and 16th in the 100, an event where he’s not the only Finn in the water.

Squalicum’s Finn Smith, also a sophomore, is ranked 15th in that event.

Two Finns, one pool, let the water war begin.

Even sharks are afraid when Wolves are unleashed in the water.
