Freshman Alana Mihill smashes her PR and claims Coupeville’s best finish of the day.

Every event the Coupeville High School cross country team attends this season is a milestone.

After reviving a program which had been shuttered for 20+ years, the Wolf harriers are attacking each new challenge with glee.

Saturday afternoon, Coupeville, with seven of its eight runners in action, was at Lakewood High School, taking part in the first North Sound Conference cross country championships.

While King’s (girls) and South Whidbey (boys) claimed the team titles, the new-look Wolves made their own splash.

Freshman Alana Mihill, running solo with Catherine Lhamon resting a leg injury, was the top Wolf finisher, claiming 16th while nailing a PR on the 5,000 meter course.

Senior Danny Conlisk went out strongly, leading for the first lap before finishing 19th with a season-best time.

Coupeville heads to the district meet Oct. 27, and it will be a short jaunt, with the race held at South Whidbey High School.

The top 36 boys and 42 girls at districts qualify for the state meet Nov. 3 in Pasco.

If they hit their times at that race, Lhamon, Mihill and Conlisk are on target to qualify for the big dance, while Sam Wynn is close to joining them.

“It would be a dream to take these four runners to state our first season as a team, and with Catherine and Alana running cross country for the first time,” said CHS coach Natasha Bamberger, herself a harrier state champ for the Wolves in 1985.

“They have trained so hard and notably come together as a very close team,” she added. “To go to state would cap off an amazing first season for Coupeville and speaks for great things to come. What a gift this season has been!”

Size doesn’t matter.

Despite being much smaller in numbers than most of its competition, the Coupeville Middle School track and field squads held up well Wednesday at the Olympic League meet.

The Wolves finished second in the boys team standings, trailing just Sequim, which feeds a 2A school, while the girls were third behind ginormous Stevens, which feeds 2A Port Angeles, and Sequim.

Forks, Blue Heron (Port Townsend) and Chimacum also competed in the six-team season finale.

When Coupeville boarded the bus for the trip home, six Wolves ascended the stairs as league champs.

Cassidy Moody (high jump), Ja’Tarya Hoskins (75 hurdles), Morgan Pease (800), Thane Peterson (discus), Matthew Kelley (high jump) and Sean Toomey-Stout (long jump) all ruled their events.
