They’re the fastest to the finish line.

Coupeville High School’s cross country runners are the first Wolf fall sports athletes to hold a season-ending banquet, handing out awards and letters Wednesday night.

As she hailed her harriers, CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting also praised all involved in the program.

“A heartfelt thank you to the parents as well,” she said. “And thank you to our team parent, Shaloma Allen.

“A thank you to (CMS) Coach (Amber) Wyman for attending races with us, and Mr. Coach Wyman for the miles he logged with ‘The Boys’.”

The Wolves will graduate four runners, with three of those having competed during all four of their years at CHS.

“It was a great season!” Bitting said. “Missing those seniors already.”

Drive East until you hit the SunDome

They’re on their way.

Carrying a 16-0 record, the Coupeville High School volleyball squad headed out of Cow Town Tuesday, with the bus aimed right at the SunDome in Yakima.

Awaiting them is the 2B state tournament, which runs Wednesday and Thursday.

First up is a match-up with Tonasket, then a rumble against either Mossyrock or Colfax.

But before the spikes and aces start flying, the Wolves got a send-off from school mates, parental figures, fans, and more, as seen in the pics above and below.

Lo and behold, aquatic excellence!

The lone wet Wolf continues to impress in the pool.

Coupeville High School freshman Alexandra Lo travels and trains with Oak Harbor since CHS doesn’t have a swim program.

Now, with the postseason upon her, Lo headed off to Anacortes this weekend, where she participated in the 1A/2A district meet.

All while still repping a 2B school.

Lo earned 6th place in the 200-meter freestyle and 12th in the 100-meter in her first run at postseason aquatic glory.

The season is likely over for the Wolf fab frosh, though there is still a chance she could pick up a wild card entry to the state meet if things break right.

Either way, Coupeville’s swim ace will stay in the pool, as she competes with the North Whidbey Aquatic Club.

Lo is the lone Wolf girl currently involved in high school swimming — though former Coupeville student Riley White also made it to districts, but as a member of the Oak Harbor squad.

CHS junior Finn Price will hit the pool this winter, once again wearing Wolf red and black, but joining South Whidbey swimmers in training and traveling with Kamiak during the regular season.

Path to Title Town set

They’re the #5 seed, and they open on court #5.

The draw for the 16-team 2B state volleyball tournament was revealed Sunday, and now Coupeville High School knows its path to Title Town.

The Wolves (16-0), who are one of two undefeated teams along with top-seeded Adna, open play in the double-elimination tourney at 9:45 AM Wednesday, Nov. 13.

Their first foe at the Yakima SunDome will be #12 seed Tonasket (15-7), who hails from the Central Washington B League.

The Tigers earned the last state berth out of District 5 and are returning to the big dance for the first time since 2017.

Overall, Tonasket has played in three previous state volleyball tourneys, netting one match win in 1998.

This is the seventh trip to state for the Coupeville spikers, and their second in as many seasons.

The Wolves have four state volleyball wins, with the last coming in 2004.

Coupeville and Tonasket, which sit 241 miles apart, had one foe in common this season, and that was Okanogan.

The Tigers split their season series with their league mates, winning 3-1 and losing 3-2, while the Wolves toppled the Bulldogs 3-2 in a non-conference rumble.

If Coupeville wins its state opener, it advances to play a Wednesday night quarterfinals match against the winner of #4 Mossyrock (12-6) and #13 Colfax (9-10).

Lose that opener with Tonasket, and the Wolves return to the floor mid-afternoon for a loser-out rumble with the loser from that same #4 vs. #13 contest.

Win at least one of its two matches Wednesday, and CHS will be back in action Thursday and still in contention for the first state trophy in program history.

The top eight take a trophy home with them when they return from Yakima this year.

In a side note, Coupeville will be joined at state by Northwest 2B/1B League mate La Conner (12-9), which eliminated Orcas Island Saturday in the second-place game at the District 1/2 tourney which the Wolves won.

The Braves, who have six state titles up on the wall, face a monumental task this time around, as they are seeded #16 and open against top-ranked Adna, which is 18-0.

And, in a second side note, pour one out for Kittitas and Lind-Ritzville-Sprague, which, despite being ranked #6 and #8 in RPI, respectively, failed to advance to state after being eliminated in district tournaments.

Absolute proof you never really know until the last spike hits the floor.
