The spirit stayed strong.

Less than 24 hours after cheering at their own football game, the Coupeville High School cheer squad spent Saturday at the University of Washington, taking part in its annual Spirit Day.

The Wolves, who were running through their planned performance as fans trickled in to Mickey Clark Field Friday night, joined up with cheer squads from across the state.

Working with U-Dub cheerleaders, they performed during the Huskies 41-3 dismantling of Portland State.

Amber Benway loves being a cheerleader.

The Coupeville High School junior jumped at the opportunity and hasn’t looked back, embracing everything about her new sport.

“I started doing cheer because I love cheer and I loved what they were doing and I wanted to get involved with that,” Benway said.

Summer cheer camp, where she got a chance to hang out and work with her new teammates, sealed the deal for her.

“We went to camp and it was just a lot of fun,” Benway said “Cheer is so fun, because you’re with a group of ladies that you know know what they’re doing and you’re learning new things and you’re doing new stunts.”

Helping her along the way have been a variety of veteran teammates and coaches, all of whom she holds near and dear.

“The person that helped me through cheer was Kaela (Hollrigel), my captain,” Benway said. “She is the most bright and beautiful person I know.

“And my second captain, Kiara (Burdge), she has been there for me too.”

Along with her team leaders, Benway draws a great deal of support and encouragement from her coach, as well.

“My coach, Cheridan (Eck), she started me in cheer and she is just the most wonderful person I know!”

Senior Kiara Burdge provides veteran experience.

Tell Mckenzie Meyer cheer is not a sport (something I would NEVER do), and she will break you in half.

Strong with spirit, they are.

No rest for the cheer warriors.

Coupeville High School cheerleaders were hard at work Wednesday morning, fine-tuning their routines in advance of the start of a new football season.

The Wolves will take to the sidelines for the first time Sept. 3, when CHS hosts South Whidbey in the Battle for The Bucket.

By then, Coupeville’s loudest ‘n proudest will be a well-oiled machine, honed to a razor edge by coach Cheridan Eck.

Falcon fans will never know what hit ’em.

Junior-to-be Mckenzie Meyer holds center stage last winter.
