Angelina Berger
She’s not from Coupeville, but she has a Coupeville connection.
South Whidbey High School senior Angelina Berger, daughter of my former boss in child care at Harbor Haven, Sarah Berger, won the 1A girls’ discus title Saturday in Chelan with a heave of 128 feet, five inches.
That was an astounding eight and a half feet further than the Falcon legend had thrown before in competition.
She also finished 3rd in the shot put, a feat she accomplished in back-to-back seasons. Last year she did that in 2A, before South Whidbey dropped back to 1A this school year.
Berger wasn’t the only Falcon to have a huge weekend, as top tennis ace Hayley Newman (who has the 3rd most-read article out of 1,038 published here on coupevillesports.com) made a long, and successful, run through the 1A tourney.
Newman polished off foes from St. George’s, Chelan and Annie Wright, before losing in the final to Michele Lui of Forest Ridge. Lui, a junior, has won three straight 1A singles titles.
