Oak Harbor travel should reduce a bit next year due to changes in the WESCO alignment caused by school size shifts.
Oak Harbor will remain a 3A school. Stanwood and Marysville-Pilchuck are moving down to 3A, Lynnwood to 4A, and Mt. Vernon will move to 4A and rejoin WESCO.
With the additonal 3A teams, WESCO will now be split into 4 divisions:
WESCO 3A North: Everett, Pilchuck, Getchell, Oak Harbor, Stanwood
WESCO 3A South: Glacier Peak, Meadowdale, Shorecrest, Shorewood, Mountlake Terrace
WESCO 4A North: Arlington, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Mt. Vernon, Snohomish
WESCO 4A South: Cascade, Edmonds-Woodway, Jackson, Kamiak, Lynnwood, Mariner.

Changes to WESCO for 2012-2013 season
Thursday, January 14, 2010
New WESCO divisions
Oak Harbor will be moving to 3A next year and as a result will face many new opponents as WESCO league officials have reconfigured the league into a North, South, and now separate 3A divisions.
WESCO North will be Arlington, Lake Stevens, Marysville-Pilchuck, Monroe, Snohomish and Stanwood.
The South will have Cascade, Edmonds-Woodway, Jackson, Kamiak and Mariner.
WESCO 3A will be OH, Everett, Glacier Peak, Lynnwood, Meadowdale, Shorecrest and Shorewood.
The new alignment will apply to the following team sports: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, Volleyball and Wrestling.
The current North/South alignment will continue for the individual sports: Cross Country, Track, Golf and Swimming
While the new alignment will increase travel times, it moves OH from being one of the smallest 4A school into one of the largest 3A schools.
