Their talent has no limits.
Coupeville High School students Vivian Farris and Hayley Fiedler have proven to be masters of multiple sports over the years, from volleyball to cheer to tennis — where they form a dangerous duo for the Wolves — and far beyond.
And now you can add ice skating to their resumes.
Looking for something to do during the pandemic shutdown, Farris heard the siren call of the rink.
Then the wait began.
“This was really a Covid dream for Vivian when she couldn’t do anything else, she wanted to ice skate,” said mom Susan. “And, of course, all the rinks were closed.
“We persisted until they opened.”
Vivian celebrates after her first competition.
Not wanting to go alone, Vivian invited Hayley to come along on her new adventure, and the duo began taking weekly lessons in early 2021.
That involves a two-and-a-half-hour roundtrip to Bellingham, but it’s been worth it.
“They both really love it,” said Susan Farris.
The duo are fast learners, and have participated in performances at Halloween, Christmas, and in the spring with the Bellingham Figure Skating Club.
Recently, Hayley and Vivian took to the stage for Ice Fest, a competition put on by a skating club out of Seattle.
After skating duets together, the Wolf supernovas now have their eyes set on passing skating tests and qualifying to perform solos.
