They reached the end of the trail. Quickly.
The Coupeville Middle School cross country team capped its season Wednesday with an appearance at the Cascade League Championships in Langley, and the Wolves held up well on the 3,000-meter course.
Sparked by top five performances from Juniper Dotson and Sarai Dangerfield, the CMS girls finished second in the team standings behind host South Whidbey, while Granite Falls rounded out the top three.

Meanwhile on the boys’ side of things, Coupeville claimed third place, with South Whidbey and King’s going one-two.
In addition to the team titles, the host Cougars also earned both individual crowns, with 7th grader Kaylin Gutzmer and 8th grader Rowan Doonan hitting the tape first.
Overall, there were 169 runners on the course, repping six different schools.
