Little school, big results.

Powered by eight top-four finishes Saturday, the Coupeville High School Science Olympiad team finished fourth at regionals, earning an invite to the state meet.

The Wolves, who were led by second-place finishes from the duos of Anna Dion/McKenzie Meyer and Josh Robinson/Drake Borden, spent Saturday on the campus at the University of Washington.

There were 19 schools in Coupeville’s classification, and the only schools to finish ahead of the Wolves — Bothell and Inglemoor (which had three separate teams) — are both 4A schools.

CHS is one of the smallest 1A schools in the state.

State is April 14 at Eastern Washington University in Cheney.

Shine there and schools can earn a shot at advancing to the national tournament, which is held May 18-19 at Colorado State University.

Mission Possible (2nd) — Mckenzie Meyer and Anna Dion

Mouse Trap (2nd) — Josh Robinson and Drake Borden
