It’s Instagram official.

Captain, my captain.

Former Wolf Nation supernova Riley White, now a senior at Oak Harbor High School, has been tabbed as one of three captains for the Wildcat girls’ swim team.

The daughter of Coupeville School Board President Morgan and CHS boys’ hoops guru Greg has been a busy bee in her time in O-Town, putting in work as a wrestler, swimmer, and ROTC cadet.

That follows on the heels of her auspicious dance career, as Riley has been at the forefront of numerous ballet productions over the years.

Cole’s younger sister heads up a ‘Cat pool program which kicks off its season Tuesday, September 8 against Mount Vernon.

Two current Coupeville students, Alexandra Lo and Liliana Newberg, train, travel and compete alongside the Oak Harbor team as part of a co-op agreement before going their own way for the postseason.

Ember Light, that is.

The Coupeville High School grad has been tabbed as a captain for the revived Whatcom College cheer squad as it heads into the fall.

The Orcas currently have a seven-woman squad, with another round of tryouts set for the first week of September.

Light is one of two former Wolves on the Whatcom cheer squad, with Pamela Morrell also on the WCC team.

She’s pursuing an allied health degree at Whatcom, with plans to move onto radiology school.

The Coupeville High School sophomore, twin sister of Wolf three-sport star Joey Lippo, was recently named a ballet company captain with the Whidbey Island Dance Theatre.

She is believed to be the youngest dancer ever named a captain.

The honor traditionally goes to a ballet dancer who is a junior or senior in high school, but this time around theater directors were more concerned with leadership skills than scanning birth certificates.

“They were not looking at age; they were looking for someone who could really connect with the girls and work well with the staff,” said mom Connie Lippo.

“Char Brown, the artistic director, described her as compassionate and takes time to notice each of the others,” she added.

Skyy Lippo has danced since she was five.
