It’s a weird, wild mix of numbers.
When you look up Coupeville High School cross country results on athletic.net, you can get the top times in 12 different race lengths.
Want meters? They have 3,000, 5,000, and 5,439.
Want miles? Up pops 1.0, 2.0, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.75, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2.
Well, except there’s nothing listed for the girls in 2.5 or 2.75 miles, and not every race has a top three.
After that, it gets even trickier however, as it’s a true mishmash thanks to some quirks in the system.
Athletic.net launched in 2004, but results from earlier state championship meets can be found there. But only state meets, and generally not pre-2004 regular season races.
Which explains why Natasha Bamberger, Kerry McCormick and their ’80s counterparts pop up here and there, but not everywhere.
Then, of course, there’s the factor that the CHS cross country program was shut down from the mid-’90s until its return in 2018.
Though, during that exile, a Wolf here or there ran in a co-op program with Oak Harbor High School, a time period which included Tyler King winning a state title in 2010 to join Bamberger (1985) atop the mountain.
So, with that all in mind, here’s a look at what athletic.net has as the best times posted by CHS cross country runners.
Why? Cause I feel like it!
