Wolves (l to r) Helen Strelow, Cristina McGrath, and Claire Mayne form the core of a young, very-promising team.

They ran to success.

Year two of the revived Coupeville High School cross country program came to an official close Wednesday night, as the Wolves and coach Luke Samford celebrated with an awards banquet.

Junior Catherine Lhamon, who made it to the state meet, and freshman Mitchell Hall, who just missed the cut, took home girls and boys MVP honors, respectively, while 15 runners exited with letters.

After lying largely dormant for two decades, with a few individual harriers training and traveling with other schools, CHS brought back its in-school cross country program in 2018.

That first season featured seven runners (five boys, two girls), with those numbers more than doubling in year two.

Coupeville loses just one senior, with Chris Ruck graduating, and should continue to add to its roster, as the middle school cross country program has even bigger numbers.

 

Varsity letter winners:

Aiden Anderson
Reiley Araceley
Cameron Epp
Mitchell Hall
Eli Kastner
Catherine Lhamon
Claire Mayne
Cristina McGrath
Alana Mihill
Chris Ruck
Helen Strelow
Alexander Wasik
Aidan Wilson

The Big Hurt continues to get big props.

Coupeville grad Nick Streubel, who just wrapped his senior football season at Central Washington University, was tabbed Wednesday for two awards.

When Great Northwest Athletic Conference coaches tallied up their votes, the former Wolf was named a First-Team All-League pick and the GNAC Offensive Lineman of the Year.

Streubel, who anchored the Wildcat line at center, made the All-Conference team for the third time in his collegiate career.

Central, which finished the season on a six-game winning streak, finished 5-1 in league play, 7-4 overall, winning a third-straight league crown.

The ‘Cats snagged 11 spots on the GNAC’s First Team with Billy Greer joining Streubel as an individual winner.

The league leader in sacks, Greer was picked as the GNAC Defensive Player of the Year.

Streubel, who has been a First Team pick three straight seasons, led an offensive line which helped Central roll up 504.7 yards per game, best in the GNAC and ninth-best in all of D-II football.

During his time in Coupeville, he was a three-sport star for the Wolves, playing football and basketball, while also competing in track and field.

And now I’m caught up.

Probably. Maybe. Possibly.

As we wrap up the fall sports season, and begin the pivot to winter and basketball, I’m shaking loose the final photos I have stashed away.

There’s a couple more still hanging round, but they’ll pop up as the final awards banquets are held.

For now, eight glossy John Fisken snaps from a volleyball season in which the 2019 Wolves tied the program record with 14 wins.

They aim to thrill

Blowout or close game, they’ve got this.

A day after opening the season with a 39-point win, the Whitman College women’s basketball team won a gut-check special Saturday, edging dangerous Carroll College 74-72.

The win over the Montana gunners gives the Blues, ranked #21 in D3 hoops, a clean sweep at the Whit Classic in Spokane.

Whitman, which got a game-high 24 points from Mady Burdett and a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double from Coupeville grad Makana Stone, is just starting its road trip.

The Blues put their 2-0 record on the line next Wednesday, Nov. 20 when they travel a whopping 3.2 miles across town to face Walla Walla University.

After that, Whitman has two games in California and another two in Texas, before the home opener Dec. 13.

Saturday’s game was a brawl from start to finish, with the teams battling down to the final shot of the night.

Up 21-19 after one quarter, the Blues found themselves in a 38-38 tie at the half, then clinging to a 59-58 lead headed into the final frame.

Stone opened the scoring in the fourth, banging down a jumper to momentarily stretch Whitman’s lead back out to three points.

After that, the Blues turned to their long-range shooters, with freshman Shaira Young and Stone’s fellow senior, Burdett, each rattling home back-to-back three-balls.

Even then, the game wasn’t decided until the final ticks of the clock played out.

Burdett swished a trey to break a 70-70 tie, with Carroll responding with a layup with 35 seconds to play to pull back within one.

The Montana squad then stole the ball, and had not one, but two shots at taking the lead, only to watch both a three-ball and a put-back pop back out.

Whitman’s Kaelan Shamseldin pulled down the game’s biggest rebound, and sank one of two free throws with a single second to play to set the final margin.

Stone netted her 14 points thanks to 3-9 shooting from the field, and 8-11 from the free throw stripe.

Her 10 boards were a game-high, while the former Wolf added three steals while playing 29 minutes.

Two games into her final college season, Stone has 32 points, 13 rebounds, and six steals.

With 960 career points, she continues to move closer to becoming just the ninth female player in Whitman basketball history to crack 1,000 points.
