They persevered.

Running through less-than-stellar air, thanks to wildfire smoke sweeping the state, the Coupeville Middle School cross country harriers still ended their season with a bang.

Competing at the Cascade League Championships in Langley, the Wolves claimed 3rd place in the girls team standings, and 5th in the boys showdown.

King’s earned both team crowns at the seven-school event, which drew 160 runners to a 3,000-meter course.

Coupeville also claimed an unexpected prize, with 7th grader Alexandro Lo honored with the league’s first sportsmanship award.

Ever-enthusiastic cross country guru Elizabeth Bitting was thrilled with how her runners finished, with many setting PR’s in the final race of the season.

“These Wolves ran amazingly!” she said. “So proud of their efforts!”

But then a momentary pause as it sank in this was her final go-round with a team which attracted an astounding 30+ runners this season.

“What am I going to do with my down time now?” Bitting wondered.

Axel Marshall cracked the top 10 Tuesday afternoon.

Individual titles went to Reed Atwood of Langley and Caleb Greenland of Lakewood.

Coupeville placed a runner on the awards stand, with 8th grader Noelle Western claiming 9th place in the girls race.

The Wolves sent 15 runners to the line, with eight of the nine who competed in the season opener coming back around to set a PR on the same course.

“It’s always nice to finish where we first started the season,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “So many PR’s, and so many happy faces!

“I am very proud of these athletes,” she added.

“I wish the 8th graders the best of luck in high school and I hope to see everybody else return in the fall! GO WOLVES!!!”
