Speedy, one and all. (Amber Wyman photos)
Anna Powers can’t be caught.
The Coupeville Middle School 8th grader outran the field Friday at the Return of the Salmon Cross Country Invitational in Sultan, claiming first-place in a field of 64 runners.
Powers victory, in which she beat her nearest rival by five-plus seconds, put a cap on a strong all-around day for the Wolves, who placed six runners — two girls and four boys — in the top 10.
Coupeville’s boys finished second in the team standings, almost catching powerhouse South Whidbey, while the Wolf girls were a solid third.
“We have some really strong runners!” said happy CMS coach Amber Wyman after her team finished the 3,000-meter races.
The Wolves will get another chance to show that next Thursday, Oct. 2, but closer to home.
CMS hosts a six-team Cascade League meet at Fort Casey State Park that day.
The pack is on the attack.
