Up the hill they came, one after another.

As I waited to turn out onto Highway 20 from Sherman Road the other day, a wave of Coupeville Middle School cross country runners worked their way past, conquering the somewhat steep rise of the Kettles trail.

Leading into their season opener Saturday at the 44th Carl Westling Invitational in Langley, the Wolves are putting in the miles for new head coach Amber Wyman.

They’re not slowing down, for you or anyone else.

Coupeville speed demons Finley and Scotlyn Helm continue to tear up the track at the Monroe Speedway, piling up trophies and earning mad respect.

The duo was back at it this past weekend, punching the pedal through the metal while dad Jerry kept their turbo-charged rides hummin’ along.

Saturday was qualifying day, with Scotlyn missing out on setting a new track record by just four tenths of a second.

Lil’ sis, who has the most time behind the wheel of any of Lindsey Helm’s three children, qualified 2nd in her class, before storming to a win in the main event.

Older sibling Finley, who is headed to middle school in a few weeks, qualified in 5th, saw her ride get a complete suspension rebuild, then bounced back to claim a personal-best 3rd place finish.

Big sis Finley (left) joins the trophy show.

Returning to the track Sunday, the Helm sisters made a serious run at nabbing all the prizes on day two.

Finley racked up 2nd place in her heat, and a 3rd place in the main event, with Scotlyn roaring to another victory in her finale.

Riding on tires provided by a scholarship from Wilkie Excavating, the Helm sisters made Pops beam.

“These girls really worked hard this weekend,” Jerry Helm said. “Couldn’t be more proud of their fight and perseverance.”

“Eat my dust!”

There’s a new King in Baker

Whidbey to Whatcom, and still killin’ it.

Coupeville grad Ryan King, a football captain who came back around to coach multiple sports at his alma mater, is the new head coach for the Mount Baker Junior High gridiron program.

An inductee into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame, the burly lineman was a key player for the Wolves football program in the early 2000’s.

King was a captain as a senior in 2006 and helped lead the 2005 CHS squad, the last Cow Town gridiron team to post a winning record until Coupeville finally broke back through to the winning side in 2019.

Once he moved into coaching, the former Wolf worked as an assistant football coach at both the middle school and high school levels between 2011-2017.

He was also a head coach for Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball, where he worked with future high school stars like Chelsea Prescott, Genna Wright, and Mollie Bailey.

King was an assistant football coach in Mount Baker last fall, and now takes the reigns for a junior high program which feeds a high school which is consistently one of the best in a football-mad region.

“Very excited for this opportunity!” said the former Wolf.
