They kicked things off with a bang.
Running under sunny skies Wednesday at Fort Casey State Park, the Coupeville Middle School cross country squad won three of four races at the first-ever Salish Sea Jamboree.
CMS 8th grader Sarai Dangerfield and 7th graders Juniper Dotson and Nicholas Strong all finished first in their respective races, with 21 Wolves conquering the one-mile course.
Fresh off their season opener, the young harriers return to action this coming Saturday, when they trek to South Whidbey for the 47th annual Carl Westling Invite.
