It’s becoming a familiar trip.
Traveling back to Granite Falls for the second time in five days, the Coupeville Middle School cross country squad ran in the Granite Gallop Wednesday afternoon.
The trek followed on the heels of a jaunt Saturday to the same area for the Mountain Loop Invitational.
This time out, the Wolves were one of seven schools vying on a 1.7-mile course, seeking glory and PRs.
Coupeville’s boys finished second in the team standings, piling up 55 points to South Whidbey’s meet-best 31.
That put both Whidbey schools well ahead of King’s, which was third with 83 points.
Lakewood (118), Granite Falls (119), Sultan (155), and Northshore Christian Academy (156) rounded out the standings.
On the girl’s side of things, South Whidbey and Granite finished in a tie with 52 points, followed by Northshore (66), Coupeville (88), Lakewood (125), and Sultan (131).
Adeline Stevens and Jude Stadler of South Whidbey claimed individual crowns, while Wolf 8th grader Anna Powers continued her torrid fall, hitting the tape in second place.
Coupeville returns to action next Wednesday, Oct. 22, traveling to Langley for the season-concluding Cascade League Championships.
