They ran so fast the raindrops never hit them.
Dodging Mother Nature’s liquid assault Wednesday, the Coupeville High School cross country squad hosted its lone home meet of the season at picturesque Fort Casey State Park.
The Wolves and rivals from five other schools covered a 5,000-meter course, with Mount Vernon Christian and Evangel Christian snagging team titles in girls and boys, respectively.
Evangeline Fikkert of MVC and Joshua Sarr of Evangel earned top individual honors, with senior George Spear and freshman Mikayla Wagner pacing CHS.

While the weather got a bit wet ‘n wild, Coupeville coach Elizabeth Bitting was beaming like the sun afterwards.
“Beautiful day to set up; as soon as they started the race the skies opened up!” she said with a laugh. “IT POURED!!
“They all ran amazing! Such a beautiful course! Great PR’s! A memorable race for sure!”
The Wolves get right back at it this Saturday, Oct. 4, when they travel to University Place to take part in the John Payne XC Invitational.
