The Wolves invaded the eye of the storm Saturday morning.

Traveling to University Place, the Coupeville Middle School cross country squad participated in the massive 28th annual John Payne Invitational.

The event drew entries from 97 high schools, 21 middle schools, and 13 running clubs.

CMS competed in the 1.5-mile youth race, with the Wolf boys finishing 3rd in the team standings, and girls’ 9th.

Coupeville claimed 5th in the overall team standings.

It was a go-go day from start to finish, said CMS coach Amber Wyman.

“That race was fast and furious! We got there shortly before 9:30, got settled, grabbed bibs, headed straight to the start and they headed out!”

The calm before the storm.

Having survived the event, the Wolves have two meets left on their schedule.

The middle school harriers will join their CHS counterparts next Saturday, Oct. 12 at the 4th annual Mountain Loop Invitational in Granite Falls.

After that, CMS closes the campaign with a trek to South Whidbey Wednesday, Oct. 16 for the Cascade League Championships.

The breeze just made them run faster.

Staying one step ahead of the cool air coming off the water at Fort Casey State Park Thursday, Coupeville Middle School cross country runners held up well in their lone home meet of the season.

The Wolves welcomed six other Cascade League schools to Whidbey, then presented them with an enticing 1.7-mile course.

South Whidbey claimed the girls’ team title, while King’s captured the boys’ crown. Coupeville finished third in both competitions.

Aleya Lewis of Lakewood and Ash Kline of South Whidbey earned individual honors, with the Wolves placing Henry Purdue and Cyrus Sparacio in the top 10.

CMS coach Amber Wyman sent 26 runners to the line Thursday and came away impressed with her young athletes.

“It was a beautiful day, and the runners really pushed hard!” she said.

“We had some tough competition, but I am so proud of all of my runners for how hard they work at practice and all the effort they give.

“It is really paying off!”

The Wolves get right back at it this Saturday, Oct. 5 when they travel to University Place to take part in the 28th annual John Payne Cross Country Invitational.

The fish are back, apparently, and so are the harriers.

The Coupeville Middle School cross country team sent 27 runners to the line Friday in Sultan at the uniquely named Return of the Salmon Invitational.

The six-team event, which went down at Osprey Park, featured a 3,000-meter course.

Two Wolf girls and four boys cracked the top 10, with 7th grader Henry Purdue leading the way with a third-place finish.

Overall, the Wolf boys claimed the team title, while their female counterparts finished second.

“Amazing meet today!” said CMS coach Amber Wyman. “This is such a determined group, and they were so excited!

“They were cheering for each other, giving advice to each other and helping out others,” she added. “Nothing better than that!

“A beautiful day and amazing running!”

Sultan gave out special prizes, with top 10 finishers earning a commemorative t-shirt, and finishers in slots 11-20 being awarded a fish necklace.

Coupeville gets back at it next week, but a lot closer to home, when it hosts a meet Thursday, Oct. 3 at Fort Casey State Park.

Meet #1 is in the books.

The Coupeville Middle School cross country squad kicked off a new season in style Saturday with an appearance at the 45th annual Carl Westling Invitational in Langley.

The young Wolves put four runners on the awards podium, earned second-place in the team standings for both girls and boys, and wowed their coach.

“They did amazing today!” said Amber Wyman. “I am so impressed and proud of their work and dedication.

“They have had four full weeks of training before our first race, and it shows with so many amazing PR’s!”
