Now they just need their own pool.
Two Coupeville High School students made the trek North day in and day out this fall to compete as swimmers.
With no pool program at their own 2B school, Alexandra Lo and Liliana Newberg trained and traveled with 3A Oak Harbor High School before splitting with the Wildcats for the postseason.
Competing in Anacortes last weekend at the 1A/2A District 1 meet, the Wolf duo put a strong cap on their campaign.
Lo, who is in her second season as a CHS swimmer, earned eighth place finishes in the finals of both the 200 free and 500 free, while Newberg set PRs in the prelims in both the 100 free and 100 breaststroke.
Having doubled the number of female Wolf swimmers taking advantage of the co-op — CHS senior splasher Finn Price hooks up with Kamiak each winter — those involved would love to see the roster grow.
“Hoping to build more interest in swimmers for next season so that we could add to our team,” said John Lo, father of Alexandra.
“You don’t have to be an expert swimmer; beginners are very welcome!”
