Off to Pasco they go!

But first, photo ops for the 12 Coupeville High School cross country runners headed East for Saturday’s 2B state championship meet.

Both the Wolf boys and girls are advancing to the big dance as teams, as Elizabeth Bitting’s harriers continue to hit new heights.

The Wolves ran with the big dogs.

Repping a small 2B school, the Coupeville High School cross country squad acquitted itself quite nicely Saturday in Granite Falls at the rain-soaked Mountain Loop Invitational, even with a field filled with large school rivals.

Paced by top finishers Mikayla Wagner, who set a “lifetime PR,” and George Spear, who “ran so fast I’m still dry,” the Wolves finished fifth in both team competitions at an event which drew runners from 20 high schools.

Oak Harbor, a 3A school, and Lake Stevens, a 4A one, captured team crowns in girls and boys, respectively, while competing on a 5,000-meter course.

On the boy’s side of things, the Wolves made a huge statement, finishing ahead of both their next-door neighbors from O-Town and Northwest 2B/1B League archrival Mount Vernon Christian.

Fresh off its top-notch performance in Granite, Coupeville next heads to Bellingham Thursday, Oct 16 for the Lake Lap Invite at Lake Padden.

George Spear earns some more hardware.

Clip-clop go the footsteps, click-clack goes the camera.

Both Coupeville High School and Middle School hosted cross country meets at Fort Casey State Park last week, and intrepid photographer Julie Wheat was on hand to capture images from the action.

It made for great team building.

Coupeville High School cross country runners and coaches teamed up this weekend to participate in Ragnar, covering ground from the wilds of Blaine down to the Southern tip of Whidbey Island.

“Other teams go to camp, we ran RAGNAR,” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“They all ran amazing, their splits were phenomenal, their energy was off the charts, they pushed back their tiredness, the memories they made were priceless.”

The Wolves were financed by a variety of folks, including the Coupeville Booster Club.

“I wanted them to pay for nothing and just enjoy the experience,” Bitting said.

With Ragnar being a unique competition, it gave the Wolves a new perspective on what they can accomplish both as individuals and as a team.

“This relay changes how you look at races,” Bitting said. “You run your leg then immediately jump back out to cheer on your teammates … no matter what time of day or night that might be.

“You run, eat, sleep, repeat! It was truly a great experience. I hope I’ve made sone Ragnarians for life!!”

CHS cross country, which finished third among high school teams, had two vans operating under a “Running with the Pack” banner.

The roster included:

 

Van #1:

Elizabeth Bitting (Coach)
Aleksia Jump
Allie Powers
Kelly Powers (Driver)
Ivy Rudat
Mikayla Wagner

Van #2:

Isaiah Allen
Shaloma Allen (Driver)
