One of Whidbey’s best graduated today.

Alexis Trumbull, who used to rule the softball diamond at Coupeville High School, flingin’ heat from the mound, capped a two-year run as a college player when she received her diploma from Skagit Valley College.

To mark the occasion, we offer a medley of photos from her time as a Cardinal — a period documented by the lens of mom Shelli.

Congratulations, Alexis. You remain awesome, as always.

Hunter Hammer — solid gold.

The Page Hit King is an All-American.

Coupeville High School grad Hunter Hammer, who now throws at Trinity Lutheran College, finished third in the discus at the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) outdoor track and field championships in Georgia Friday.

His throw of 46.46 meters was good enough to earn him All-American status, while scoring big points for his squad in the team battle.

Hammer also finished fifth in the event named after him — the hammer throw — with a hurl of 47.39.

He will wrap up his tournament with an appearance in the shot put final Saturday. He is seeded tenth in the field.

During his time as a Wolf, Hammer was a star basketball player and shattered most of the school’s throwing records.

He continued on as a thrower for Everett Community College for two seasons before following his throwing coach to Trinity.

Now this guy would freak ATM and King’s out.

Sure, he’s already been graduated for a couple of years now, but slip him in the lineup and maybe no one would notice and… Yeah.

Anyway, for one afternoon, former Coupeville High School hoops hotshot Jason Bagby was back on the court he once ruled.

It was the opening day of practice for a new Wolf season Monday, and the visiting royalty jumped in to show the young guns how the game was played.

Brings back memories of a few short seasons ago, when CHS was 16-4 and Cascade Conference champs.

And it hopefully inspired the current crop of hoops stars, many of whom now wear clothes designed by the former Wolf (https://www.facebook.com/Evergreenclothingco).

Be like Bags, and go kick some butt.

Tyler King: American Badass (Angelo Comeaux photo)

After battling illness for most of the season, Tyler King will now have to wait to see whether he gets one more cross country race.

The Coupeville High School grad, now a redshirt sophomore at the University of Washington, finished 97th (out of 187 runners) at the NCAA West Regionals in Sacramento Friday morning.

He and his Husky team placed 9th in the 27-team battle. Stanford and Oregon claimed the top two spots, earning guaranteed berths at the national championship meet Nov. 23.

Washington will now have to wait to see if it can claim one of the 13 at-large berths when the full 31-team bracket is announced. Last year the Huskies missed an invite by one slim spot.

Running 10,000 meters for the first time this season, King covered the course at Sacramento State’s Haggin Oaks Golf Complex in 31 minutes, 56 seconds. Edward Cheserek of Oregon won in 29:35.

Today Tyler King celebrates his birthday.

Tomorrow, he and his teammates on the University of Washington mens’ cross country squad prepare to scorch some booty in California at the NCAA West Regionals.

The Huskies, ranked 29th in the nation, are aiming for a berth at the NCAA National Championships Nov. 23, but will have to traverse the 10,000 meter course at Sacramento State’s Haggin Oaks Golf Complex quickly to capture one.

The top two teams automatically qualify, with nine regions accounting for the first 18 teams for nationals. After that, there are 13 wild card berths, which can be tricky to nab.

Last year, the Dawgs were the 32nd team, missing out by one slim slot.

King, a redshirt sophomore who still holds numerous Coupeville High School records, is finally fully healthy after battling illness for much of the season. This will be his second go-round at regionals.
