A little rain won’t slow them down.
Or even a lot of rain.
Running through the liquid sunshine in Granite Falls Saturday, the Coupeville Middle School cross country squad put up a stellar team-wide performance at the 5th annual Mountain Loop Invitational.
The scrappy Wolves notched third place in both of the team competitions, with Cavelero Mid-High, out of Lake Stevens, claiming top honors.
In the individual standings, Coupeville collected four top 10 performances, with Anna Powers and Sarai Dangerfield finishing second and third, respectively, in the girls rumble.

While the weather made navigating the 1.7-mile course a bit difficult at times, the Wolves held up well.
“It has been raining the whole time!” said CMS coach Amber Wyman. “The runners did great! The hill was muddy and wet, so a few fell on it, but they pushed through and finished strong!”
Coupeville is headed back to Granite next week, slated to appear at the Granite Gallop Wednesday, Oct. 15. The weather forecast for that day calls for sun.
