New adventures await Landon Roberts.

The Coupeville High School grad, coming off a stellar senior year where he was honored as the CHS Male Athlete of the Year, has signed to play college baseball next spring.

Roberts is headed to Walla Walla Community College, and he put pen to paper Tuesday to make his hardball commitment official.

Landon, who joined big sis Lindsey as well as parents Jon and Sherry in being honored as a CHS Athlete of the Year, will also be pursuing educational goals in Eastern Washington.

He will be working towards obtaining an Associate of Applied Science degree in Welding and Fabrication.

The parental units watch their son make it official.

Landon is a fifth-generation Coupeville grad, with numerous members of both sides of the family having attended CHS.

The latest all-star from the clan was a team captain for all three of his teams, helping guide the CHS cross country, basketball, and baseball programs to great success.

The Wolves come out to support one of their own.

The harriers advanced to state during Roberts final two seasons, with the Wolves finishing in the top 10 in the team standings both times.

On the basketball hardwood, he was tabbed as the varsity Defensive MVP as a senior, while also proving to be a deadly shooter in high-pressure moments.

On the baseball diamond, where he helped the Wolves advance to state as a sophomore and junior, Landon was a pitching ace who also filled in wherever help was needed.

That included doing time as an infielder, an outfielder, and, late in his prep career, as a rock-solid catcher.

He capped his CHS run by playing in the All-State feeder games, joining a select group of former Wolves who have gotten the call.

Wolf coaches hail the three-sport captain.

It made for great team building.

Coupeville High School cross country runners and coaches teamed up this weekend to participate in Ragnar, covering ground from the wilds of Blaine down to the Southern tip of Whidbey Island.

“Other teams go to camp, we ran RAGNAR,” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“They all ran amazing, their splits were phenomenal, their energy was off the charts, they pushed back their tiredness, the memories they made were priceless.”

The Wolves were financed by a variety of folks, including the Coupeville Booster Club.

“I wanted them to pay for nothing and just enjoy the experience,” Bitting said.

With Ragnar being a unique competition, it gave the Wolves a new perspective on what they can accomplish both as individuals and as a team.

“This relay changes how you look at races,” Bitting said. “You run your leg then immediately jump back out to cheer on your teammates … no matter what time of day or night that might be.

“You run, eat, sleep, repeat! It was truly a great experience. I hope I’ve made sone Ragnarians for life!!”

CHS cross country, which finished third among high school teams, had two vans operating under a “Running with the Pack” banner.

The roster included:

 

Van #1:

Elizabeth Bitting (Coach)
Aleksia Jump
Allie Powers
Kelly Powers (Driver)
Ivy Rudat
Mikayla Wagner
Devon Wyman

 

Van #2:

Isaiah Allen
Shaloma Allen (Driver)
Zeke Allen
Carson Field
Ossian Merkel
George Spear
Andy Wyman (Coach)

Join the movement.

New Coupeville High School girls’ soccer coach Jasmine Ader is hosting a “Pizza on the Pitch” night next Wednesday, July 16.

It’s part of a push to fire up young booters and revive the program.

After a 20-year run, the Wolf girls have been unable to field enough players to compete as a team the past two seasons.

Those players who have persevered joined the CHS boys as a co-ed team competing in a boys’ league.

But the preference for all involved would be to see the Wolf girls once again go toe-to-toe, and goal-for-goal, as their own team.

So, if you attend Coupeville schools and will be in grades 8-12 this fall, get to Mickey Clark Field next week.

Put together a softball tournament with 2,000-plus players, and there’s a great chance some of those sluggers will hail from Cow Town.

The 30th annual Canada Cup runs July 4-13 in Surrey, British Columbia — AKA “Softball City” — and a number of Coupeville athletes are participating this season.

Recent CHS grads Taylor Brotemarkle and Madison McMillan, joined by Oak Harbor compatriots Layla Suto, Mia Regan, and Ramona Ryder, play for the Whidbey Island Thunder 18U team, which went 3-2 in their appearance.

That squad has a couple more tourneys on their schedule as its travel ball season runs through the end of July.

Also playing in Canada was the Island Vipers, which has a sizable chunk of Wolf varsity players on its roster.

Plus, All-World catcher Teagan Calkins is prepping for her senior year at CHS while anchoring Elevate NW Elite.

The Canada Cup draws teams from multiple states, with the USA and Canada being joined by squads from as far away as Israel, New Zealand, The Netherlands, and Taiwan.
