"I'll get off the freakin' Ferris Wheel when I feel like it, buddy, and not before!!"

Awwwwwwww...

Awwwwwwww…

Today, if you haven’t heard, is national Sylvia Hurlburt day.

The Coupeville High School senior, a whirlwind of positivity and wonderment (and athletic skill and sunny snarkiness, too!), is celebrating her cake day, having hit the big 1-8 on her journey towards graduation.

As she celebrates her latest milestone, we present a few hundred photos to mark the occasion.

OK, 23 photos, if you’re counting, but that’s still the most I’ve run for anyone’s birthday. So, that’s something.

I also got one of Sylvia’s closest friends, fellow CHS cheer captain Jovanah Foote, to say a few words about Miss Hurlburt.

So, let’s turn the stage over to her.

Sylvia is one of my oldest friends and she is spectacular.

She cheers, she dances, and she’s a crazy athlete.

She is a bundle of joy and love mixed with a little sass and I absolutely love it.

I’ve known her since I was very little and it’s insane that we’re both already 18 and graduating.

I have so many great memories with her, starting from preschool all the way up to our final year of high school, and I absolutely cherish all of them.

Cheering with her all these years has been so fun and great!

I have enjoyed being by her side, her partner in crime.

I can’t wait for many more memories in our lives because we will forever be best friends.

I love you and I hope your 18th birthday is insanely FABULOUS!

   Gabe Wynn’s tip o’ the day for all prospective Race the Reserve runners — stay hydrated. (John Fisken photo)

The biggest race of the year is only four months away.

Preparations for the annual Race the Reserve (which goes off Aug. 13) are underway and event organizers are looking for runners and potential sponsors.

The event, which features a half-marathon, 10K and 5K, benefits the following school year’s senior class at Coupeville High School.

In this case, that would be the Class of 2017, which will get a safe and sober graduation night celebration out of the event.

The races, which are run through Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve on Whidbey Island, offer runners “panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker.”

Cost is $30 (5K), $40 (10K) and $60 (half-marathon) and you can register online this very moment by jumping over to:

http://racethereserve.com/

If you or your business are interested in becoming a sponsor, contact Race the Reserve via its Facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/RaceTheReserve/

Donations can also be sent to:

Race the Reserve
P.O Box 1162
Coupeville, WA 98239

   The weather was so nice, Wolf athletes (l to r) Emma Smith, Kiara Burdge, Ally Roberts and Maddy Hilkey decided to throw an impromptu pizza party.

McKenzie Bailey

   It takes every bit of concentration for noted photo-bug McKenzie Bailey to not turn when she hears the click of the camera, but she has a point to win right now.

It’s almost over.

Thursday is the third consecutive day with no live sports in Wolf Nation, as Spring Break continues to unfold in all its laid-back charm.

Once we hit Friday, however, we’re back at it, at least for a moment.

Coupeville High School baseball hits the road to La Conner, while Wolf boys’ soccer travels to Puyallup to face Cascade Christian.

Until then, we offer up a smorgasbord of spring sports pics, drawing on all five CHS teams and fans alike, to remind you what they would all look like if they were in action.

Friends forever.

Katherine Morales is a bright, shining light in Coupeville.

The Wolf freshman, who celebrates a birthday today, was a vital part of the CHS cheer squad this year, and her sunny personality has won her fans near and far.

As she enjoys her cake day, we have two guest columnists, fellow Wolf athletes Kalia Littlejohn and Tomi Herrera, who swung by to weigh in on their friend.

First up is Kalia:

Katherine and I became friends in the fifth grade when Katherine, Tomi, and I all started to hang out after school at my mom’s office across the road from the elementary school.

Then our friendship grew through middle school and now high school.

She’s one of my best friends, she’s very reliable and fun to be around.

Katherine is always up to have a good time.

She makes everyone around her smile.

And then we have Tomi:

Katherine is a nice and caring person; she loves adventure and having fun; she’s always up for new things; she’s a great friend; she finds the best in everything and everyone; she’s a really funny person and always makes you laugh.

She’s always there for you no matter what and is the best partner in crime you could ask for.

She’ll always be there no matter what; she’s a free spirit who loves doing her own thing but takes other people into consideration all the time.

She’s good at whatever she tries to do and sets a goal for herself.

She’s brave and enthusiastic.

Happy birthday, Miss Morales. From all of us.

Four players, four success stories.

As the college baseball and softball seasons play out across the country, several former Wolves are busy polishing their reps.

Softball sluggers Madeline Roberts (Shoreline Community College), Hailey Hammer (Everett CC) and Monica Vidoni (Rainy River CC) and diamond man Ben Etzell (Saint John’s University) are all sporting different uniforms these days.

But, while they may have departed Coupeville High School, their exploits are still avidly followed by local fans.

A mid-season report card:

Hammer, a freshman, is hitting .333 for a 7-7 Everett squad, with eight hits, four RBI and three runs in 10 games.

She’s cranked a double, drawn two walks and has a .966 fielding percentage for a team that’s 2-0 in conference play.

Roberts has piled up two hits (including a double), four runs, two walks and two stolen bases in seven games thus far in her sophomore campaign.

Shoreline sits at 5-5 overall, 1-1 in league play.

Vidoni’s team, based out of Minnesota, kicked off the season earlier than the Washington schools, and the freshman has seen action in 17 of her team’s 19 games.

The Voyageurs are 12-7 and Vidoni has 11 hits (including an over-the-fence home-run), seven runs, six RBI, two walks and a stolen base.

Etzell, a sophomore, is also in Minnesota, where the Johnnies are 13-7 on the season.

The former Wolf has seen mound time in four games, going 1-0 with a 6.88 ERA, striking out 16 over 17 innings of work.

At the plate, he has six hits (including two doubles), seven runs, four walks and four RBI in 12 games.
