The Wolves ran with the big dogs.
Repping a small 2B school, the Coupeville High School cross country squad acquitted itself quite nicely Saturday in Granite Falls at the rain-soaked Mountain Loop Invitational, even with a field filled with large school rivals.
Paced by top finishers Mikayla Wagner, who set a “lifetime PR,” and George Spear, who “ran so fast I’m still dry,” the Wolves finished fifth in both team competitions at an event which drew runners from 20 high schools.
Oak Harbor, a 3A school, and Lake Stevens, a 4A one, captured team crowns in girls and boys, respectively, while competing on a 5,000-meter course.
On the boy’s side of things, the Wolves made a huge statement, finishing ahead of both their next-door neighbors from O-Town and Northwest 2B/1B League archrival Mount Vernon Christian.
Fresh off its top-notch performance in Granite, Coupeville next heads to Bellingham Thursday, Oct 16 for the Lake Lap Invite at Lake Padden.
George Spear earns some more hardware.
