Best in the biz.

Coupeville High School seniors Nick Dion and Mitchell Carroll beat competitors from 21 other schools Saturday to claim a title in Robot Arm at the Science Olympiad state championships.

The duo also finished fourth in Electric Vehicle, while teammates Josh Robinson and Luke Carlson claimed third place in Write It, Do It.

Sparked by their three top-five finishes, the Wolves finished 18th as a team, one spot better than they did in 2015, their last trip to state.

Camas won the team title.

Nationals are in Dayton, Ohio in May, but the season is done for Coupeville, as only the top teams, and not individual winners, advance to the big dance.

Whidbey knows wind!!

Four Coupeville High School students showed off their superior brain power Saturday, taking home first place in Wind Power at a Science Olympiad regional competition in Seattle.

Luke Carlson, Jose Marcos, Connor McCormick and Zane Bundy combined to net the Wolves’ lone title, while CHS also took three second-place finishes and a fourth-place award.

The competition capped a season that started in October and has required the Wolves, many of whom juggle Science Olympiad with sports, drama and regular school work, to put in extensive time and effort.

Coupeville claimed second in Bridge Building, Robot Arm and Wright Stuff, which is an event involving gliders.

It’s named in honor of the Wright brothers (Wilbur and Orville), who, if you were paying attention in school, kind of kick-started this whole airplane thing.

The teams for those disciplines included Mitchell Carroll, Joseph Wedekind, Loren Nelson and Laurence Boado (Bridge Building), Nick Dion and Carroll (Robot Arm) and Carlson, Julianne Sem and Madison Rixe (W. Stuff)

The Wolves also copped fourth in Air Trajectory, with Teo Keilwitz, Marcos, Jakobi Baumann and McCormick working on that project.

Overall, 19 CHS students competed across 23 events in the all-day contest.

Other Wolf competitors included Dani Johnson, Garrett Compton, Sebastian Davis, Lilan Sekigawa, Mckenzie Meyer and John McClarin.

Soccer and science have become the best combo since chocolate and peanut butter.

Putting the student part squarely in student/athlete, four Coupeville High School soccer players captured gold at last weekend’s state Science Olympiad competition.

Guided by teacher Terry Welch, the quartet of Nick Dion, Connor McCormick, Sebastian Davis and Garrett Woody brought home the “Au.”

Dion and McCormick won for their work with the Scrambler, while Davis and Woody topped the field in the “Write It. Do It.” competition.

All four have also excelled on the field for the Wolves this season and return to action this afternoon, when the Wolves host Chimacum in an Olympic League showdown.

Play starts at 3:30.
