Coupeville Sports

Capri Anter is on a tear.

The Coupeville freshman is currently wrapping up a successful debut year at the high school level, scoring as both an athlete and a student.

In the classroom Anter pulls down close to a 4.0, while bouncing from volleyball to basketball to softball.

Playing alongside Cousin Haylee Armstrong, she forms a deadly duo for a diamond squad which sits at 13-4 on the season.

Anter, who pitches and patrols the outfield for the Wolves, is coming off of one of her best performances.

She ripped three hits, including a double, and played sterling defense while tracking down fly balls as Coupeville thumped vaunted Nooksack Valley 11-2 Friday afternoon.

The non-conference victory, coming against a softball program which won the 1A state title in 2022, was huge for a CHS squad which starts three 8th graders and two freshmen.

When she’s not busy on the softball diamond or hitting the books, Anter can be found at Skagit Speedway, where her dad takes care of drivers who get hurt in the heat of action.

It makes for a busy life, but one which does not go unnoticed.

“She has been on the go since school started,” said proud aunt Michelle Armstrong. “She works hard on and off the field. She is very loved, and we are so proud of her and her cousin.”

That’s a feeling which carries over to her teammates, who often herald her at-bats with chants of “Taquito, Burrito, Caprito.”

And to classmates like Myra McDonald, who, on her way back to the school from track practice, stopped to holler, “Where’s my Capri Sun?????

“There she is, shining away!!”
