He continues to churn through the water at a rapid pace.

Coupeville High School senior Finn Price, the lone Wolf boy competing as a swimmer, is putting together a strong final campaign while training and traveling with Kamiak.

A two-time state meet qualifier, who’ll be gunning for a third trip to the big dance in February, Coupeville’s aquatic ace was back at it Thursday in Mukilteo.

Competing at a meet which included Kamiak and Mariner, Price won the 50 free, while also qualifying for districts in the 100 backstroke.

Last week he punched his ticket to the postseason in the 200 IM as well.

Price, who will swim for Whitman College next year, is in his fourth season repping the Wolves in the water.

Since CHS, a 2B school, doesn’t have its own pool or swim program, he meets up with South Whidbey athletes and then the group hops across to join the mainlanders in the pool.

Splish, splash, another couple wins for the Lone Wolf.

Competing at the Snohomish Aquatic Center Tuesday, Coupeville High School senior Finn Price set the pool on fire, capturing a win in the 200 free and another as part of a 400-meter relay team.

He also hit the wall fourth in the 100 free, qualifying for districts in both of his individual events.

Price, who has competed at the state meet the past two seasons, is in his fourth go-round of being the only male swimmer at CHS.

Since his 2B-sized school doesn’t have a swim program, he trains and travels with 4A Kamiak in Mukilteo.

Tuesday’s meet, the second of the season, also featured Glacier Peak and Snohomish.

Kamiak’s regular season runs through the end of January, and then Price will go his own way for the postseason.

He’s back in his element.

Coupeville High School senior Finn Price kicked off his fourth year as a Lone Wolf swimmer Thursday, competing in a meet alongside his training buddies from Kamiak.

The aquatic rumble also included Mountlake Terrace and Archbishop Thomas Murphy, as well as South Whidbey swimmers, who like Price, have to hook up with bigger schools since their own doesn’t have a full swim program.

Coupeville’s king of the deep, who is aiming for a third-straight trip to state this winter, opened with a win in the 50 free and a second in the 100 free.

While he’s battling sickness, which took a bit off his times, Price still hit marks Thursday that punched his entry to next February’s district meet.

Wolf swimmers go the extra mile (or ten)

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!”

Wolf runners punch state tickets

They were built for the moment.

Overcoming brutal weather conditions Saturday in Pierce County, Coupeville High School cross country runners shone brightly at the district meet, punching their ticket to the state championships.

Competing in the Westside Classic at University Place, the Wolf boys beat the field in the 2B clash, claiming the program’s first district team title since 1977.

Back then, all-timers like Jeff Fielding, Don Sherman, and Chris Chan were flying down the trail for CHS.

This time around, seven years after the school’s cross country program was revived after a two-decade-plus shutdown, the roster includes two freshmen, two sophomores, a junior, and two seniors.

League and now district champs.

Placing four runners in the top six, the Coupeville boys held off archrival Mount Vernon Christian 36-43 to claim the crown, with Orcas Island (70) and Friday Harbor (78) rounding out the top four.

CHS and MVC advance to state, set for next Saturday, Nov. 8 in Pasco, as complete teams.

They’re headed to Pasco.

On the girls’ side of things, 2B and 1B schools competed together, with the top four teams advancing.

The Wolves, led by sophomore Mikayla Wagner’s 8th place performance, claimed the final team slot to state, finishing fourth with 91 points, edging out Tacoma’s Covenant High School (115).

Pope John Paul II (24), MVC (67), and Friday Harbor (84) will join the Wolves in Pasco.

Saturday’s meet sent runners off across a 5,000-meter course, where Mother Nature promptly unloaded on them.

And it wasn’t just the competitors, as Wolf supporters had to wage war to keep the team’s tent from flying off and never being seen again.

Wolf fans 1, Mother Nature 0.

“Imagine the worst possible conditions for running a race,” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting with a laugh.

“We had gale force winds, rain, light at times, heavy at times, soggy, muddy, sponge like grass, water everywhere … the worst, yet the perfect conditions for a great cross country district race!!!”

The Wolves came prepared for the challenge.

“Spikes were a MUST in this race and thankfully they all wore them,” Bitting said. “We saw a few (runners) go down … but none of ours.”

Along with having the proper gear, having a strong mindset helped, as well.

Ten of the 12 Wolves running Saturday also competed in the annual Ragnar run this summer, and the entire crew has been diligent about putting in the work necessary to grow both as individuals and as a program.

“I believe last week (at the league meet), and today’s showing are a reflection of their summer miles,” Bitting said. “I love it when they buy into it!!”
