Friends forever.

Katherine Morales is a bright, shining light in Coupeville.

The Wolf freshman, who celebrates a birthday today, was a vital part of the CHS cheer squad this year, and her sunny personality has won her fans near and far.

As she enjoys her cake day, we have two guest columnists, fellow Wolf athletes Kalia Littlejohn and Tomi Herrera, who swung by to weigh in on their friend.

First up is Kalia:

Katherine and I became friends in the fifth grade when Katherine, Tomi, and I all started to hang out after school at my mom’s office across the road from the elementary school.

Then our friendship grew through middle school and now high school.

She’s one of my best friends, she’s very reliable and fun to be around.

Katherine is always up to have a good time.

She makes everyone around her smile.

And then we have Tomi:

Katherine is a nice and caring person; she loves adventure and having fun; she’s always up for new things; she’s a great friend; she finds the best in everything and everyone; she’s a really funny person and always makes you laugh.

She’s always there for you no matter what and is the best partner in crime you could ask for.

She’ll always be there no matter what; she’s a free spirit who loves doing her own thing but takes other people into consideration all the time.

She’s good at whatever she tries to do and sets a goal for herself.

She’s brave and enthusiastic.

Happy birthday, Miss Morales. From all of us.

Coupeville High School cheer embraces the theory of Ohana, building a family as the season progresses.

It’s a concept Wolf freshman Katherine Morales is very happy to be associated with.

“I’ve been cheering for three months and I started because it looked super fun and I’ve always wanted to try it out,” she said. “I enjoy everything about cheer, but especially stunting and cheering with my cheer sisters!”

A huge fan of watching favorite shows such as Pretty Little Liars and The Vampire Diaries on Netflix, Morales also enjoys traveling, spending time with friends and speaking Spanish.

Having played volleyball and basketball in middle school, she is considering picking up a tennis racket for the Wolves this spring.

“I’m still not sure if I will be doing tennis this year, but sure would love to try it out,” Morales said.

She credits her family with being her biggest support, whether in sports or real life.

“My mom has a really big impact on me and she definitely helped make me the person that I am now,” Morales said. “She always encourages me to be me and practice really hard to get better at things.”

That mentality helps her get through the intensive practices run by the Wolf cheer squad.

And, while school officials still insist on officially referring to cheer as an activity and not a sport, Morales thinks otherwise.

“What I would tell the CHS officials (and anyone else that doesn’t think cheer-leading is sport) to change their mind, would be that cheer-leading is a sport because we cheerleaders and athletes work and practice really hard to get better at routines, stunting, flexibility, etc.”

“We go to camp, compete at camp, train to get stronger … so yet why don’t you consider cheer-leading a sport?”
