Kyle King

Not a fluke.

When Coupeville grad Kyle King won the Marine Corps Marathon in 2022, it was the first time an active-duty Marine had tasted victory in the event in 30+ years.

Jump forward two years, and the former Wolf, a five-time state track and field champion back in his CHS days, was once again atop the victory stand.

Hitting the tape with a mark of two hours, 25 minutes, and six seconds, King outdueled his closest competition, Air Force Capt. George Henry Crist (2:26:20) and Army Capt. Kyle Smith (2:27:03).

The speedy sensation who sprang from the fertile fields of Cow Town is currently a Major stationed at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center 29 in Palms, California.

The Marine Corps Marathon, which was celebrating its 49th run Sunday, starts at the Pentagon and ends at the Marine Corps War Memorial.

Along the way, runners deal with a rough course full of hills.

King only had six weeks to train for the 2024 race, as he had numerous job responsibilities to juggle, he told an Armed Forces Sports reporter.

Numbers stayed consistent.

The 2024 edition of Race the Reserve featured 273 runners rambling across the prairie Saturday, slightly down from last year’s 277.

The 5K and 10K attracted 100 and 91 runners, respectively, while the half marathon, with 82 competitors, was up 11 from a year ago.

Jarrett Manca won the premier event, hitting the finish line in one hour, 28 minutes, 46.87 seconds, while Cataldo DiDonna (35:49.62) and Galina Free (20:36.45) finished first in the shorter races.

Race the Reserve is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Coupeville High School’s senior class, with proceeds going to fund graduation night festivities.

CHS cross country ace Aleksia Jump shares a moment with her fan club president.

The prairie was abuzz with the sound of runners slicing through early morning fog, and cash hitting the bank account.

Saturday brought another edition of Race the Reserve — the biggest fundraiser for Coupeville’s senior class — to life, with the pics above and below showcasing a taste of what went down.

The pics come to us from a wide array of Wolf Moms, always doing my work for me and being greatly appreciated for it.

This is your time to join the movement.

Parents of students in the Coupeville High School Class of 2025 are ramping up for next month’s Race the Reserve and are looking for sponsors and people willing to donate for goodie bags.

The event, set for August 10, is the biggest fundraiser for each year’s graduating class.

Organizers are planning 300 goodie bags and are looking for a wide variety of things.

“Goodie bag items can be coupons, advertisements, lip balm, sunscreen, granola bars, anything really,” said Wolf Mom Christi Messner.

Donations need to be made by Aug. 5.

You can also sponsor the race, and the deadline for that is much closer, arriving this coming Wednesday, July 24.

Aidan Wilson (left) enjoys his moment atop the podium.

Aidan Wilson is still out there kicking butt and taking names.

The Coupeville grad, who won five state track and field medals as a Wolf, competed in his second Spartan Sprint race in Michigan this weekend and excelled.

Vying in the competitive class, he won his age group.

Spartan Sprint races send runners through a course where they have to evade obstacles, diving into mud, climbing up ropes, and jumping over fire.

Wilson and fellow competitors had to deal with 20 obstacles on a 5K course.

His triumph in the event continues a tradition of excellence, going back to his days as a multi-sport athlete at CHS.

During his time on Whidbey, Wilson more than earned his status as a Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famer.

He participated in a mind-boggling 16 events as a Wolf track and field star, collecting 41 wins across three seasons.

Wilson brought home five state meet medals, earning three 2nd place finishes, capping his career by placing 7th out of 32 in a two-day, 10-event decathlon featuring competitors from every state classification.

One of only eight Wolf boys to earn as many as five state meet medals, it’s likely he would have gone higher on that list if real-world issues hadn’t restricted him to just two trips to the big dance.

The pandemic erased all spring sports when Wilson was a freshman, and the state meet was cancelled during his sophomore season as track officials limited how far schools could travel in the Age of Coronavirus.

Wilson also ran a season of cross country, while raining down goals on the soccer pitch.

He rattled the net for 10 goals as a senior, earning All-Conference First-Team honors, and finished his prep career with 13 scores, putting him #7 on Coupeville’s all-time boys’ soccer scoring chart.
