His strength is not in his hair.

Rockin’ a new buzz cut, Coupeville grad Mitchell Hall was back at it Saturday, competing in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Championships in Shelbyville, Indiana.

The former Wolf, now a freshman at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, covered the 8K course in 29 minutes, 24.18 seconds.

That put him in the top half of finishers, earning him 70th in a field of 138 harriers.

Enrique Salazar of Manchester claimed the individual title at Blue River Cross Country Course, spurring his school to a team title as well.

Manchester edged Rose-Hulman 44-51, as the two teams finished atop the leaderboard in an eight-school race.

Next up on the schedule is the NCAA D-III Great Lakes Regional in Norton, Ohio, Nov. 11, where runners will vie for a trip to nationals.

Hall, a standout track and cross country athlete during his days in Coupeville, is studying physics and mathematics when not out pounding the trail.

Different state, different school, same great Carolyn Lhamon.

The Wolf grad, a three-sport star whose skills and leadership earned her great respect in the Coupeville community, is still scoring big-time in the classroom and on the field.

Lhamon, a freshman at the Colorado School of Mines, is playing club soccer while also finding some time to study Quantatative Biosciences and BioMed Engineering.

Her pitch squad is off to a 2-0 start after bouncing Colorado College and CU Boulder this past weekend.

Next up for Lhamon and Co. is a game against the US Air Force Academy Preparatory School, with an eight-game schedule playing out across September and October.

“She’s so happy and I’m so proud,” said mom Helene.

While finding the time to excel in multiple outlets is always a tricky balance, the former Wolf ace was a pro at doing just that in her time at CHS.

Lhamon, whose older sister Catherine was also a star student/athlete for the Wolves, played soccer, basketball, and track and field.

Carolyn earned All-Conference honors as a booter, anchored the Coupeville defense on the hardwood, and advanced to state in multiple throwing events.

She capped her senior season of track by claiming 4th place in the shot put at the state championships and was tabbed as the CHS Female Athlete of the Year as a junior.
