The spotlight just got a lot bigger.
Coupeville High School senior Mica Shipley has been at the forefront of the Wolf cheer program since day one, a star who has soared to new heights with each new season.
An award winner since she first entered the cheer world as a six-year-old, Shipley has grown into a team captain and a super-talented flier, and she helped lead Coupeville back into competitive cheer last year.
After placing third at state in their return engagement, the Wolves are aiming to qualify for nationals this season, and struck gold Saturday, winning a regional competition.
Through it all, Shipley, an outgoing young woman who combines intelligence, hard work and laser focus in the pursuit of her dreams, has been one of the rocks CHS coach BreAnna Boon can always count on.
Now, though, the Wolf cheer-master might want to ask her captain for an autograph, in a bid to get in on the ground floor as the Mica Shipley Show goes nation-wide.
The Wolf senior is currently appearing in ads for Glitter Starz, an Illinois-based company which is a national leader in custom all-star uniforms, warm-ups and other cheer essentials.

Shipley was plucked from the masses after getting her senior photos done by Josh Lusk, who specializes in cheer photography.
After he posted some of her photos, Glitter Starz selected Shipley as one of 50 girls they were interested in as models.
From there, she survived the cut from 50 to the final six.
Now, Shipley can be seen on all of the Glitter Starz social media pages, from Facebook to Instagram, and in the company’s magazines.
A prairie legend gets her moment in the national spotlight.
Coupeville always knew Mica was a star.
Yesterday, Whidbey Island.
Today, the USA.
Tomorrow, the world.
How do you spell Mica Shipley? S-U-P-E-R-S-T-A-R.
