The cross country revival is operating at full force.

Coupeville relaunched its program this fall after a two-decade absence, and Saturday marked the first time both the high school and middle school teams competed together.

The place to be was Langley, where the 40th annual Carl Westling Invitational attracted hundreds of harriers.

While the Wolf high school runners were competing in their third meet, it was the debut for their younger counterparts.

And it went off very well, as three CMS runners — Carolyn Lhamon, Cole White and Claire Mayne — brought home medals for placing in the top 15 finishers.

“OH MY GOODNESS IT WAS SO FUN!!!!!,” said slightly-excited CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “They all did amazing!!! Great attitudes!! I am SO PROUD of each of them!

“They ran so strong, all finished hard, this is one happy, super impressed, super proud coach!!!!!! They are all truly amazing!”

Catherine Lhamon is on the attack.

Running in just her second high school cross country meet Saturday, the Coupeville sophomore sparkled at the epic 36-team Sehome Invitational.

With so many teams in attendance, the event broke its races down by classes, and yet almost every one of the eight varsity heats featured 100 or more runners.

Lhamon came pounding down the back stretch, picking off 10 runners over the final mile of her two-mile race to claim 15th out of 121 runners.

The speedy Wolf hit the tape in 13 minutes, 59.95 seconds.

The massive meet drew in teams from every classification in Washington state, with all three Whidbey Island schools making the trip.

Other Coupeville results:

Freshman girls — Alana Mihill (33rd) 15:42.79

Sophomore boys — Sam Wynn (72nd) 12:48.23; TJ Rickner (120th) 14:10.90

Junior boys — Chris Ruck (117th) 15:52.05

Senior boys — Danny Conlisk (53rd) 12:26.31; Kyle Burnett (91st) 16:30.07

While a handful of Wolf runners have trained and traveled with other schools in recent years, 2018 brings the sport where it belongs, back inside the school.

As they prep for their first race, a photographic look at the harriers who are reigniting the flame.

Big hits, big growth!!

Catherine Lhamon lives for the kill.

That moment when the volleyball pops up in front of her, just begging to be whacked, is a favorite for the Coupeville High School freshman.

“The part of volleyball I enjoy the most would be hitting, especially when it’s a good one!,” Lhamon said.

While put-aways are the most fun, it’s actually her passing skills which stand out as a calling card for the young spiker.

“I think my biggest strength is passing, although I could still use some improvement there,” Lhamon said. “The area I think I need the most work on would be serving; I am not as consistent as I would like to be.”

A three-sport athlete in middle school, where she added basketball and track to volleyball, Lhamon first started playing volleyball in seventh grade.

It was the perfect way to combine sports and friendship.

“I wanted to try it because a lot of my friends were doing it and I wanted to participate in a school sport,” she said.

Now deep into her third season of volleyball, playing for undefeated JV and C teams, Lhamon is hard at work trying to build her on-court skill-set.

“My main goal this season is to become a better server and learn to spot serve,” she said. “Although that might take a bit longer than a season.

“My goals for the future would be to become an all-around better and more experienced player,” Lhamon added. “If I had to narrow it down to one specific area I would want to get get more kills and pass right to the setter as much as possible.”

When she’s not at work in the gym, Lhamon enjoys hanging out with friends and has joined Coupeville’s ASB.

“Grease” and “Mean Girls” are her favorite films and science and language arts classes intrigue her the most.

Whether she’s busy in the classroom or on the court, or just needs a ride to practice, Lhamon knows she can always turn to one person to be her biggest cheerleader and supporter.

“I can’t think of any major events or people so far that would have dramatically changed who I am as a person,” she said. “I guess my mom (Helene), because she is the one who raised me and your childhood impacts the rest of your life.”
