A new season of college sports approaches, and Instagram is the place to poach pics.

Recently we’ve been able to nab photos of former Coupeville volleyball stars Mia Farris and Lyla Stuurmans preparing for their sophomore seasons at Whatcom and Skagit Valley College, respectively.

Today, it’s Wolf cheer alumni Pamela Morrell and Ember Light, who are helping launch a new spirit program on the same campus where Farris currently rips off spikes.

With a healthy dose of Cow Town legends in the spotlight, Whatcom is leading the way.

Work hard in practice and you get rewarded with Dairy Queen delights. I approve.

Year #2 is kicking off with a bang.

Coupeville grad Mia Farris is back for her sophomore season of volleyball at Whatcom College, with all eyes on her.

The two-time CHS Female Athlete of the Year is moving to libero this time around, which will keep her busy.

And hopes are high, with the Whatcom coaching staff saying in a team preview story that “she’s expected to thrive in her new role after an impressive spring.

“Her consistency in serve receive and passing strengthens the foundation of the Orcas’ backcourt.”

During her freshman season at Whatcom, Farris racked up 52 kills, 195 digs, 10 assists, one solo block, seven block assists, and 37 aces while playing in all 24 matches.

Whatcom opens the season August 21 at home, playing two matches that day and another two the following day.

Farris gets a chance to square off against former Wolf teammate Lyla Stuurmans when Whatcom and Skagit Valley play Oct. 7 and 30 this season.

She throws big, she studies big.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, who is heading into her senior year at Plattsburgh State in New York, was named Tuesday to the Eastern Athletic Communications Association 2025-26 Academic Honor Roll.

It’s the second time the former Wolf has received the honor, which makes her a perfect 2-for-2, as you have to be a sophomore before you can earn the status, which is given to student/athletes who maintain a 3.4 cumulative GPA or higher.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management, is a member of the Plattsburgh women’s track and field team, where she has competed in the shot put, hammer, javelin, discus, and weight throw for the Cardinals.

Before trekking off to the Big Apple, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis played school and travel volleyball, while also being a track star for CHS.

Lyla Stuurmans

Lyla Stuurmans was part of a landmark team.

The Coupeville High School grad is heading into her sophomore season of playing volleyball at Skagit Valley College, but first the former Wolf and her fellow Cardinal spikers can bask in the afterglow of last year.

For the first time in program history, SVC volleyball earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award, which is given to squads who maintain a year-long 3.3 GPA or higher.

Stuurmans and crew finished the 2025-2026 academic year with a team GPA of 3.52, soaring well above the requirements.

While they were showcasing their big brains, the Cardinals also did well on the court, finishing 17-15.

Stuurmans played in 30 of 32 matches, racking up 175 kills, 73 digs, eight solo blocks, 41 block assists, and 21 service aces.

SVC kicks off its new season August 21, with matches against Whatcom College, which features former CHS star Mia Farris, set for Oct. 7 and 30.

Big hits, big brains.
