Some are done, some are just beginning.
With the 2016-2017 school year reaching an end, a number of former Coupeville athletes are saying goodbye to life in college sports, while others are gearing up for their own runs.
The elder statesman, Mitch Pelroy, capped a five-year run as a football player at Montana Western, while Hailey Hammer and Monica Vidoni ended two-year stints at Everett Community College and Rainy River CC, respectively.
Also out the door is Jenn Spark, who played a year of soccer at Tacoma Community College.
She’s engaged to former Wolf hoops star Anthony Bergeron and is headed to San Diego to join him.
Looking towards the fall of 2017, here’s a list of former Wolves who we expect to be in the mix for a college sports career.
It’s an ever-changing list, so don’t be surprised to see additions or subtractions as we head down the winding road.
In alphabetic order:
Zane Bundy — After a year of learning on the sidelines at Santa Barbara City College, the former Wolf kicker is transferring to Tabor College in Kansas.
Ben Etzell — An All-League pick for his performance as a relief pitcher, he’ll be a senior at Saint John’s University in Minnesota next spring.
Kailey Kellner — 2017 CHS grad has signed to play hoops at D’Youville College in New York.
Dalton Martin — Enjoyed a successful freshman season as a discus thrower at Everett Community College.
Ally Roberts – 2017 CHS grad is joining the equestrian team at Western Washington University. The school provides its riders with steeds, dashing hopes she would take her horse, Tiger, to live with her in the dorms, TV sitcom-style.
Jacob Martin — 2017 CHS grad has signed to play football at Feather River College in Quincy, California. Golden Eagles coaches are projecting him to play strong safety.
Clay Reilly — 2017 CHS grad will try out for the baseball team at Skagit Valley College.
Kory Score — 2017 CHS grad will try out for the baseball team at Western Washington.
Makana Stone — After a tremendously successful freshman year on the basketball court at Whitman College (she became a starter and helped carry her team to the Elite Eight), she’ll be a key player for the Blues next winter.
Nick Streubel – He’s healthy after missing much of last season with a hand injury and he, and his flowing Samson hair locks, are expected to start on the line for the Central Washington University football squad. Will be a red-shirt sophomore.
Jonathan Thurston – 2017 CHS grad will try out for the Central Washington baseball squad.
Aaron Trumbull – Played first base at Olympic Community College as a freshman this spring, where he showed a slick glove.
