Kyle King
Not a fluke.
When Coupeville grad Kyle King won the Marine Corps Marathon in 2022, it was the first time an active-duty Marine had tasted victory in the event in 30+ years.
Jump forward two years, and the former Wolf, a five-time state track and field champion back in his CHS days, was once again atop the victory stand.
Hitting the tape with a mark of two hours, 25 minutes, and six seconds, King outdueled his closest competition, Air Force Capt. George Henry Crist (2:26:20) and Army Capt. Kyle Smith (2:27:03).
The speedy sensation who sprang from the fertile fields of Cow Town is currently a Major stationed at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center 29 in Palms, California.
The Marine Corps Marathon, which was celebrating its 49th run Sunday, starts at the Pentagon and ends at the Marine Corps War Memorial.
Along the way, runners deal with a rough course full of hills.
King only had six weeks to train for the 2024 race, as he had numerous job responsibilities to juggle, he told an Armed Forces Sports reporter.

Thanks for posting David. 20 years since high school, still competing well. One correction. Kyle is an officer. Major, not Sargent Major.
