They’re movin’ on and movin’ up.

Coupeville Elementary School Principal David Ebersole sent 85(!!) fifth graders on to their next destination Wednesday afternoon.

The Class of 2030 made the transition in their new home, during a ceremony in the high school’s PAC.

With the festivities complete, the young Wolves exited as sixth graders, set to start a three-year run as middle school students.

In the class are race car champs (Finley Helm), horse show champs (Abbie Moss) and the granddaughter (Hayli Marley) of my first-ever Videoville customer back in the day, Kathy Marley.

Which one will do something remarkable in the athletic world and make me consider, for a hot moment or two, of referring to them as “The Chosen One,” before common sense (and Willie Smith) makes me think twice?

Only time will tell.

Onward and upward for young Wolves

It’s the first of many milestones, school-wise.

Coupeville’s kindergartners got their walking papers Wednesday, and now head off to 1st grade in the fall.

But before they went, the future leaders of our town snagged awards, hugs, and a chance to get page hits for their local sports blogger.

That’s a win-win in my book.

Let the awards rain down.

Coupeville 5th grader Abbie Moss and her horse Blu have been to two reigning and ranch riding horse shows and brought home six ribbons each time.

The second time out, the soon-to-be middle schooler and her equine pal claimed two 1sts, three 2nds, and a 3rd place finish this past weekend.

Ready for the spotlight.

The event, run by the Northwest Reining Association, was held at the Northwest Washington Fair and Event Center in Lynden.

“Abbie has been doing reining classes and ranch rail and loving both,” said mom Kristy Moss.

“She is getting better and learning more every single show. Her commitment to improve is so admirable.”

“We’re going to win all the ribbons. Yes, we are.”

It was today’s stars welcoming tomorrow’s supernovas to the oval.

Coupeville High School track and field athletes ran a clinic Wednesday to introduce middle school and elementary school students to their sport.

The event, called the DINO Track Clinic — short for Dabbling in New Opportunities — gives younger children a chance to “identify areas of interest or talent that these students might want to pursue.”

With clear blue skies above and warm, but not brutal, temps in the air, that made for a pleasant day all around.

“Track and field has so many opportunities,” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “Introducing them (younger students) to what you can do was exciting for them.”

The Wolf track guru went on to praise her high school athletes, who were led by seniors Ryanne Knoblich and Aidan Wilson.

“What exceptional leadership skills you and your teammates demonstrated today,” Bitting said.

“What you demonstrated kept the students engaged, excited and wanting to repeat the drills over and over.”

Students had the chance to try events such as hurdles, relays, and the turbo javelin, and walked (or ran) away with stickers and ice cream afterwards.

Action was hoppin’ on the track oval.

“There were no tears, nobody complaining that it was too hot,” Bitting told her high school leaders.

“They all had fun and that was a testament to all of you. You kept them engaged and entertained. The other adults present were very impressed with all of you.

“They enjoyed listening to you explain each event, demonstrating them and then letting the students have a go at them,” she added.

“I am so proud of you. I cannot thank each of you enough!”

Let ‘er fly!

Kylee Johnson is soaring to the stars.

Or flipping and twisting her way there, as it were.

The Coupeville Elementary School 3rd grader competed in the USA Championships regionals gymnastics meet in Phoenix May 5-6, winning 1st place for tumbling in her age/skill group.

Johnson, who attends Rise Academy of Arts in Oak Harbor, is in her first year as a member of the Island Flyers team.

In addition to the tumbling title, she also earned 14th on the trampoline and 19th on the double mini.

That last event is one where you mount an angled part of the apparatus, then dismount with a series of flips or twists before sticking your landing on the mat.

The USA Championships meet drew competitors from seven states.
