CHS cheerleader Kaela Hollrigel hears the screams of encouragement from the other side.

“We are the champions … my friends!!”

Post-race, Stone hangs out with the family.

Soccer guru Sean LeVine, crushin’ fools in the 10K.

“I could be home watching cartoons right now. Just sayin’…”

Unleash the air horns of doom.

They came, they saw, they ran the heck out of the course.

Coupeville High School’s annual Race the Reserve drew in 275 runners (and one wildly-snapping paparazzi) Saturday, helping raise bucks to fund graduation night festivities for the Class of 2017.

Wolf alum Andre Stone zipped to a win in the 5K, crossing the finish line in 17 minutes, 5.06 seconds, while Singh Navdeep (45:32.5) and Ryan Prachnau (1:19:56.3) took home titles in the 10K and half marathon respectively.

Along for the run, camera in hand, was intrepid clicker John Fisken, who was nice enough to provide us with the photos above.

You can't escape from CHS Class of 2017 President Jae LeVine. She will find you and she will make you register for Race the Reserve (John Fisken photo)

Do you want to make Jae LeVine happy and save $5?

Then get off your duff and register for Race the Reserve before today is done.

The annual run, a fundraiser for the Coupeville High School Class of 2017 (LeVine is Class Prez), features a half marathon, 10K and 5K and hits the road Aug. 13.

Wait to register in-person on the day of the race and you’ll have to give up five more George Washington’s before you head off to ramble across the prairie.

Cost (through today) is $60 for the half marathon, $40 for the 10K and $30 for the 5K.

With construction on a new track making Mickey Clark Field a no-trespassing zone, the race will start and finish in front of the high school gym this year.

The artfully-crafted support vehicle.

Branded!

Hurlburt is joined by CMS track coach (and fellow runner) Elizabeth Bitting.

Well, sleeping in was apparently not an option.

With another Ragnar Relay Series run barreling right past my front porch, bringing with it early morning whooping and yelling the likes of which haven’t been heard since a Pokemon Go-addled idiot ran across an interstate highway in pursuit of Mewtwo, I’m up.

So, I’ll use my time well, which basically means poaching pics from Sylvia Hurlburt.

It’s kind of our thing.

So, thanks to the ever-industrious Miss Hurlburt, I present a smattering of Ragnar pics for your perusal.

Now, to the rest of you, shut up and get off my lawn.

But maybe don’t go play in traffic like the Pokezombies.

Vote big! Win big!!

Elizabeth Bitting, coach, runner and now, t-shirt designer. (John Fisken photo)

Bitting’s shirt design.

You, yes you, can win Sherry Roberts and friends new t-shirts.

It’s simple.

A pack of local runners (others include CMS track coach Elizabeth Bitting and Wolf mom Deb Smith) who compete in the Ragnar Trail Relay series are also taking part in the SweatVac t-shirt designing competition.

Whichever team gets the most votes nabs eight shirts featuring their design, which is a cool $256 worth of merchandise.

Bitting’s design for the Sasquatchettes is currently sitting in first place in a seven-way race that ends July 15, but by a razor-thin margin.

Time for Wolf Nation to step up and put our runners over the top. Waaaaay over the top.

Facebook only allows one vote per person, but if we all vote and spread the word, there is no poll we can not utterly destroy.

History bears that out.

To vote, pop over to:

The fastest Cow Town runner Saturday? Reed Harbeck, who finished 9th in the half marathon.

First with the stats, first with the photos.

The Whidbey Island Marathon had barely ended Saturday and Coupeville Sports had results posted for all the Coupeville runners.

Doubt me? Just scroll down the page a story or two.

Now, thanks to madly-clickin’ camera whiz John Fisken, we have snappy pics of Cow Town-based runners, long before any of the Canadian-funded media outlets get going.

Speed, baby. All about that speed.
