They’re Pasco-bound.

Well, not until very early Friday morning, but Coupeville High School cross country runners were hailed Thursday as they prep for the trip to the state meet.

The Wolves are sending their entire boys’ team and four female runners to the 2B championships, which go down Saturday.

The rest of the world caught up to Coupeville and realized Elizabeth Bitting is a gem.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, working with the U.S. Army, has hailed the Wolf running guru in its salute to coaches for October.

Bitting was one of six prep leaders honored for showcasing values such as loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage.

Among the peppiest of all coaches, she has inspired countless cross country and track athletes at both the middle and high school levels during her time in Coupeville.
