For a school with no swim program of its own, Coupeville High School continues to excel at sending athletes to the state meet.
The latest Wolf water wizard to make the trek to the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way will be Alexandra Lo.
The CHS junior, who attends a 2B school, qualified for the 1A/2A state meet in the 200 freestyle after finishing third in the event at a district meet in Anacortes.
Lo also placed 6th in the 500 free, while teammate Liliana Newberg set PR’s in both the 100 breaststroke and 100 free.
Since CHS doesn’t have a pool or a swim program of its own, the Wolf duo train, travel, and compete alongside 3A Oak Harbor during the season, then go their own way for the postseason.
The state meet is set for November 13-14, with Lo joining a list of Wolf qualifiers which includes past stars like Finn Price, Lily Doyle, Cole Weinstein, and Amanda Streubel.
