Burdge sucks Naika Hallam into her selfie game.

Two rules.

One, cheerleaders like to take photos, and two, photos of cheerleaders gets a lot of page hits.

So we’re going back to the well for a second time today, with more pics featuring the Coupeville High School cheer squad as it spent the day taking part in Spirit Day at the University of Washington.

And a big thank you to all the Wolf cheerleaders and coaches who sent me photos today.

You are all the real MVPs.

The Wolves are on the prowl in the big city.

With the high school football season just wrapped, Coupeville’s cheer squad pulled itself out of bed at the crack of dawn Saturday to head to Seattle.

Their destination? The University of Washington, where they are joining a massive halftime performance during tonight’s Husky game against Utah.

UW Spirit Day attracts more than 500 high school and junior high school cheerleaders.

As they prepared for their national debut (the game kicks off at 4:30 PM on Q13 Fox), the Wolves maintained a strong photo game, which they share with us in the pics above.

Tyler King: “I run, son. I run.”

One more milestone down.

Running in his final Pac-12 Cross Country Championships, Tyler King placed 26th Friday morning.

The former Coupeville High School star, now a senior at the University of Washington, finished in the top third of the 79-runner field.

Edward Cheserek of Oregon won the individual race in 23 minutes, 6.3 seconds, while King zipped across the line in 23:54.1.

He won state titles in both track and cross country during his days at CHS and has been on scholarship at Washington while achieving All-American status.

The Huskies, who are ranked #20 in the country, finished fourth in the team standings.

Two-time defending NCAA champion Colorado edged Stanford for the title, while Oregon was third.

The race, hosted by Washington State, was held at the Colfax Golf Club, and featured six Top 25 teams.

U-Dub finished a slot ahead of UCLA, which had entered the day ranked #15 nationally.

King and his teammates now have two weeks to get ready for the NCAA West Regionals, which UW will host in Seattle.

Former CHS state champ Tyler King (left), still fast after all these years.

Tyler King, the big time. Big time, Mr. Tyler King.

Oh, you’ve already met? Good, good.

As he continues to write the final chapter in his stellar college running career, Coupeville High School grad (and living legend) Tyler King spends a lot of time hanging out with the best in the business.

Friday morning, that brought him and his University of Washington cross country teammates to Wisconsin, where the Huskies ran in the Adidas Invitational, an event that draws a bigger field than the NCAA Championships themselves.

While there King acquitted himself quite nicely, finishing in the top third of a 244-runner field.

He covered the 8K course at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Course in Madison in a crisp 24 minutes, 22 seconds to claim 83rd place.

King was the third fastest U-Dub male finisher.

The Husky men claimed 13th, out of 36 teams, with Syracuse, the #2-ranked team in the nation, collecting the championship trophy.

Marc Scott of Tulsa was the individual winner in 23:35.

King’s training partners did even better, as the Husky women, who are ranked #10, finished 8th as a team in their race.

Boise State’s Allie Ostrander won the individual title, while top-ranked New Mexico flexed its might in capturing the team title.

Maddie Meyers topped the Washington women with a 29th place performance.

Up next for King and Co. is the Pac-12 Championships Oct. 30 in Colfax.

Hey, remember Tyler King? Still freakin’ fast!!

“Of course I’m still fast. How dare you question the very laws of the universe?!?”

There’s been a lot of buzz lately about former Wolves playing college football.

It’s deserved, certainly, but we can’t forget the Coupeville High School alum, who, while not a gridiron warrior, is currently competing at the highest level of college sports.

Tyler King, an All-American cross country runner on scholarship at the University of Washington, is three races deep into his final year as a Husky and he hasn’t lost a stride.

The UW senior opened his final campaign with an 11th place finish at the UW-Seattle U Open Sept. 1 (he zipped through 4.5 miles in 22 minutes, 19.32 seconds).

After that has come runs at the Sundodger Invitational Sept. 19 and the Washington Invitational Oct. 2.

King was 14th at Sundodger, covering 8,000 meters in 24:44.04, then claimed 33rd at Friday’s race.

In a highly-competitive field which included two of the top five schools in the nation in Stanford and Oregon, he ran a 23:55.3.

That was a step up from his junior year performance in the race (24:20) and garnered him praise from Husky coach Greg Metcalf on the school’s official web site.

King and his teammates travel to Madison for the Wisconsin Invitational Oct. 16, then charge into the post-season.

The Pac-12 Championships are Oct. 30, followed by the NCAA West Regionals Nov. 13 and the NCAA Championships Nov. 21.
