They persevered.

Running through less-than-stellar air, thanks to wildfire smoke sweeping the state, the Coupeville Middle School cross country harriers still ended their season with a bang.

Competing at the Cascade League Championships in Langley, the Wolves claimed 3rd place in the girls team standings, and 5th in the boys showdown.

King’s earned both team crowns at the seven-school event, which drew 160 runners to a 3,000-meter course.

Coupeville also claimed an unexpected prize, with 7th grader Alexandro Lo honored with the league’s first sportsmanship award.

Ever-enthusiastic cross country guru Elizabeth Bitting was thrilled with how her runners finished, with many setting PR’s in the final race of the season.

“These Wolves ran amazingly!” she said. “So proud of their efforts!”

But then a momentary pause as it sank in this was her final go-round with a team which attracted an astounding 30+ runners this season.

“What am I going to do with my down time now?” Bitting wondered.

Axel Marshall cracked the top 10 Tuesday afternoon.

They are Wolves, hear them roar.

The Coupeville Middle School girls cross country team defended its home turf Wednesday, winning a seven-team meet at Fort Casey State Park.

Elizabeth Bitting’s pack of gung-ho runners held off traditional powerhouses King’s and South Whidbey to claim the team title, placing three harriers in the top 10.

The Wolf boys finished third, with King’s on top of the leaderboard.

Granite Falls, Northshore Christian Academy, Sultan, and Lakewood rounded out the field, with 161 runners hitting the finish line during the 1.5-mile race.

Wednesday’s rumble in the woods was a preview of the season finale, as the same seven teams travel to South Whidbey Tuesday, Oct. 18 for the Cascade League Championships.

Coupeville’s runners wore pink wrist bands to show their support for the fight against breast cancer, and the meet was the first home one for the revived Wolf cross country program.

With Athletic Director Willie Smith off on an annual hunting trip, Bitting got huge help from Aimee Bishop, Barbi Ford, and Bob Martin, among many, and the event was a major success.

“It finally happened!” Bitting said. “The afternoon was beautiful! The sun was out, there was a slight breeze, and the crowds came out to cheer on all runners.

“Each and every one of our runners set a PR for our home course,” she added.

“I am so proud of each and every one of them!!!”

 

Kenneth Jacobsen was the fastest Wolf boy Wednesday afternoon.
