Time to retire a second jersey.
Coupeville grad Mia Farris, a two-time CHS Athlete of the Year winner during her Cow Town days, played her final volleyball match for Whatcom College Friday night.
Capping a two-year stint at the school, “Mia the Magnificent” went out a winner on Sophomore Night, helping spark the Orcas to a 25-16, 22-25, 25-18, 25-13 victory over visiting Shoreline.
Whatcom, which failed to qualify for the Northwest Athletic Conference playoffs, finishes 10-18.
Playing in the season finale Farris recorded a match-high 22 digs to go with a kill and an assist.
Going out a winner with her fellow sophomores.
On the season, the former Wolf ace tallied 38 kills, 42 assists, 50 service aces, 391 digs, two solo blocks, a block assist, and 90.5 points.
Farris finishes her career at Whatcom with 91 kills, 53 assists, 87 aces, 578 digs, three solo blocks, eight block assists, and 185 points.
That comes on the heels of one of the best runs by an athlete in CHS history, where she was a leader on successful volleyball, basketball, and softball teams.
During her senior year, Farris was a standout as the Wolf spikers went 18-2, won league and bi-district titles, were undefeated until the final day of the season, and finished a program-best 4th at the state tourney.
Farris was named to the Washington State Volleyball Coaches Association All-State Tournament Team, then finished her hoops career as the #50 scorer in CHS girls’ basketball history, while being an absolute beast on defense.
On the softball field, she was a hit machine and a defensive wizard in center field, part of a group which won 64 varsity games, including two at the state tourney.
