Girls’ soccer controls own playoff destiny

They get by with a little help from their friends.

The Coupeville High School girls’ soccer squad is back in control of its playoff destiny thanks to La Conner upsetting Lopez Island 6-1 Tuesday night.

The loss prevents the Lobos, who have finished their regular season schedule, from clinching the third and final playoff berth from the Northwest 2B/1B League.

It also leaves the door wide open for the Wolves.

They sit three points behind Lopez (20-17), and a win Thursday at home against Friday Harbor (4:00 PM kickoff) in the regular season finale gives CHS the three points necessary to force a stalemate.

If Coupeville loses (zero points) or ties (one point), Lopez escapes with the berth.

Should the Wolves and Lobos finish in a tie, the teams would meet in a tiebreaker game to decide who goes to the playoffs, with date, time, and location for that hypothetical game still up in the air.

For now, this is where things sit heading to Thursday:

 

School League Points Overall
MV Christian 11-0-0 33 13-2-1
Friday Harbor 8-3-0 24 8-7-0
Lopez Island 6-4-2 20 6-5-2
Coupeville 5-4-2 17 6-5-3
La Conner 4-5-2 14 4-9-2
PC Christian 2-9-0 6 2-9-0
Orcas Island 0-11-0 0 1-13-0

She’s a social media star.

Coupeville grad Mia Farris was called out on Instagram Sunday by Whatcom College volleyball coaches — in a positive way — for hitting a major milestone number.

The former Wolf, now a college sophomore, was hailed for piling up 500 career digs (she actually has 509 and counting) while playing for the Orcas.

Farris has four regular season matches left to play, including a reunion with fellow CHS alumni Lyla Stuurmans October 30 when Skagit Valley College hosts Whatcom.

Wolf harriers build new state meet legacy

The goal is Pasco.

That’s where the state cross country meet is held each year, and it’s a target Coupeville High School runners have hit more often than not.

Since the school-wide harrier program was relaunched in 2018, after being shut down for 20+ years, the Wolves have reached the big dance in six of eight seasons.

Toss out 2020, when the pandemic erased state for everyone, and it’s actually six of seven, with the only other season-ending meet missing the red and black being 2018.

That includes five trips for an entire team, with the Wolf boys qualifying for state as a group in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while the girls advanced as a unit in 2022 and 2025.

Overall, 26 Coupeville runners — 13 girls and 13 boys — have competed at state in this new era, with Carson Field, Kenneth Jacobsen, George Spear, and Ezekiel Allen reaching the big race three times.

Jacobsen, a senior this year, can make it four-for-four if things break correctly this weekend.

Coupeville will be back at it this Saturday, running on Halloween morning at the Westside Classic district meet at University Place, with Elizabeth Bitting’s squad trying to add to its rapidly-building legacy.

The following breakdown covers the seasons of CHS having its own full program during the rebirth years of 2018-2026.

That means it doesn’t include, say, Danny Conlisk, who made it to state for Coupeville in 2017 while training and traveling with South Whidbey.

Or Tyler King, who won an individual state title in 2010 while doing the same with Oak Harbor.

And certainly not the earlier decades when CHS had its own full program before being shut down in the ’90s.

That time frame includes the boys finishing fifth as a team in 1976 and 1977, while the girls earned a program-best 4th in 1982, before Natasha Bamberger cruised to a state title in 1985.

Kyle King, forever faster than everyone else

It’s kind of his thing to be at the front of the pack.

Coupeville grad Kyle King rampaged once again Sunday, winning the Marine Corps Marathon for the third straight time, and fourth overall.

Competing in the 51st edition of what is now the third-largest marathon in the United States, the former Wolf hit the finish line in a crisp two hours, 17 minutes.

The victory comes on the heels of title-winning trots in 2022, 2024, and 2025.

King, who is an active-duty Marine, was a five-time state track and field champion before graduating from CHS with the Class of 2008.

During his days in the red and black he won the 3200 three straight times while also snagging top honors in the 1600 and as part of a triumphant 4 x 400 relay unit.

After high school, Brianne and Tyler’s brother ran for two NCAA D-I schools – Eastern Washington University and the University of Oklahoma — and competed in the marathon at both the US Olympic Team Trials in Atlanta and the CISM Military World Games in China.

He was also honored as the Marine Corps 2025 Male Athlete of the Year.

The Marine Corps Marathon sends thousands of runners through Arlington and Washington, D.C., starting between the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery.

The 26.2-mile course flows past the National Mall and finishes at the Marine Corps War Memorial.

King was joined in the winner’s circle this year by female champ Kaylee Slade and handcycle master Zachary Stinson.
