Danny Savalza was back in town Saturday. If you didn’t see him, it’s probably because he was moving too fast.

The former Coupeville High School Athlete of the Year finished 15th in the half marathon at the 2014 edition of Race the Reserve, with his entry fee going to help fund graduation events for the guys and gals following in his footsteps at CHS.

The popular event, which drew nearly 300 entries this year for the half marathon, 10K and 5K, benefits the CHS Class of 2015.

Kurt Warwick of Clinton took the title in the half marathon, clocking in at one hour, 15 minutes and 24.4 seconds.

Joining him on the victory stand were Brian Comer of Sammamish (10K, 37:13.6) and Joshua Sharp of Oxnard (5K, 17:46.5).

Louisa Hays of Seattle (6th in the half marathon), Molly Gwinn of East Wenatchee (3rd in 10K) and Olivia Flack of Coupeville (4th in 5K) were the highest female placers.

Ty Eck, who will be an eighth grader at CMS in the fall, had the best local finish, nabbing second in the 5K.

If you had a Coupeville listed next to your name in the official race results (and my eyes didn’t glaze over too badly while jotting down results), you should see your name below.

If you’re not from Coupeville, tough, this is not Oxnard Sports.

They came in huge numbers, and more than a few had an outright Coupeville connection.

The 13th annual Whidbey Island Marathon was run Sunday under bright, open skies with no rain or wind. And while no one from Central Whidbey qualified for the Boston Marathon out of the race, Coupeville did have a presence.

And, since this is Coupeville Sports, we’re listing those who listed the Cow Town as their home town.

If you put down Oak Harbor, or God forbid, one of those South Whidbey towns, you’re out of luck.

Go look for your name over at http://www.whidbeyislandmarathon.com/

And, if I missed a name, I was transcribing these at 1:30 in the morning, so don’t cry too much…

We’re still two days away from St. Patrick’s Day, but there was green everywhere Saturday in Coupeville.

The Central Whidbey Co-Op Preschool held its third annual Shamrock 5K Walk/Run, and, as usual, an emphasis was put on running in costume and a bit of the puttin’ on the green.

The photos above are just a wee touch of what was to be seen.
