They squared off with the big-timers and did pretty well.

The Coupeville High School track and field squad traveled to rainy Lynden Thursday and went toe-to-toe, and javelin throw-to-javelin throw with three athletic powerhouses.

The 2A hosts swept to both team titles, while 3A Ferndale, 1A Nooksack Valley, and lil’ 2B Coupeville battled it out behind the Lions.

The Wolves eventually won three individual titles, with Katie Marti (Javelin), Reese Wilkinson (Discus), and Nick Guay (High Jump) occupying the top step on the awards podium.

Overall Coupeville athletes racked up 44 PRs in their next-to-last regular season meet.

Next up is the Sunny and 70’s Invitational at Lakewood High School Saturday (the hammer throw is Friday), and then it’s off to start the postseason jaunt as the calendar flips to May.

Young rider a rising star

A mom and a daughter, enjoying the equestrian life.

Talk about making a great first impression.

Coupeville 5th grader Abbie Moss burst onto the scene this weekend, working with her horse Blu to bring home six ribbons from her first reining and ranch riding show.

Competing in Lynden with the Northwest Reining Association, the 11-year-old proved to be a natural, taking four 1st place ribbons, as well as two 2nd place awards for reining and ranch rail.

“I win, son, I win.”

Moss has been riding casually for several years, and recently made the transition to competitive events.

Blu, a 12-year-old American Quarter Horse gelding out of Chocolate Chic Olena and Nu Cash Lass, joined the family last October.

Since then, he and his new favorite girl have been inseparable.

“When Abbie isn’t practicing or showing, she rides him around the farm and on trails every chance she gets,” said mom Kristy.

Riding into a bright future.

Everything is coming together quite nicely.

Fighting back for a come-from-behind 4-3 win over Lynden Wednesday, the Coupeville High School summer softball squad captured its third-straight victory.

With the triumph, the Wolves are 3-2, and about to expand their roster.

Kevin McGranahan’s squad will balloon with the arrival of a group of sluggers who just finished playing four games at the state tourney for Whidbey Island’s All-Star juniors team.

That group, which includes incoming freshmen such as Taylor Brotemarkle and Jada Heaton, will get a chance to mesh with veterans like Izzy Wells, Bella Whalen, and Audrianna Shaw.

The first game for the expanded team comes next Wednesday, July 21, when Coupeville clashes with Island rival Oak Harbor.

Against Lynden, the Wolves fell behind 3-0 in the first inning, then snapped into lock-down mode.

Wells was dominant in the pitcher’s circle, while her defense brought the good leather to their efforts, not allowing the big city girls a chance to add to their run total.

Coupeville “battled against a very good, hard-throwing pitcher,” breaking through for three runs in the bottom of the fourth to retake the lead.

After holding Lynden scoreless in the top of the fifth, the game was called due to a summer league rule which limits game times.

With back-to-back league titles, in different conferences, CHS softball continues to soar, and the purpose of playing in the summer was to help the program reach a new level.

Consider McGranahan pleased with what he has seen.

“The team showed its heart of a champion today, and never let up,” he said. “This summer league is working out great; the team is gelling nicely.

“Couldn’t be happier with the effort and development of this young team.

“Scores don’t matter in the off-season, but always nice to come from behind late and show the heart.”
