She’s bringing home some more hardware.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, now a junior at Casteel High School in Arizona, claimed fourth place at the state championships over the weekend.

Competing in the 132-pound weight class, the grappler won three of five matches, advancing to the semifinals, and placed for the third consecutive season.

LeVine was also fourth as a sophomore and earned a seventh-place finish as a freshman.

She was a state champ while in junior high.

Izzy is the youngest of Sean and Joline’s three superstar daughters, with older siblings Micky and Jae both having been inducted into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame for their accomplishments during their days as student athletes at CHS.

Still sick, still in the water.

Battling his way through a double ear infection, Coupeville High School junior Finn Price completed his run at the state swim championships Saturday morning.

The Lone Wolf finished fifth in the 100 free consolation finals, hitting the wall in 52.93 seconds, after swimming in the 100 and 200 free prelim events Friday.

This was his second appearance at the 1A/2A championships, having also earned a trip to the King County Aquatic Center as a sophomore.

Price, the only active male swimmer at Coupeville, a 2B school which doesn’t have its own pool or team, trains and travels with South Whidbey during the regular season.

Nothing can keep The Lone Wolf down, apparently.

Having qualified for the state swim meet for a second straight season, Coupeville High School junior Finn Price was bound and determined to be in the water Friday.

And he was, slicing through the wetness at the King County Aquatic Center … despite being in the ER at the crack of dawn with a double ear infection.

Both his coach and parents preached caution, but Price wasn’t going to miss out on his chance, even though his body is fighting him every step of the way.

The Wolf water wizard, who reps a 2B school, but has to compete against rivals from bigger schools in the 1A/2A championships, finished 11th in the 100 free prelims and 18th in the 200 free.

His times of 52.46 and 1:57.00 were better than decent, but not what he had aimed for at the start of the season.

“He was lucky to swim at all today and it was touch and go with his coach,” said mom Rachel Price.

“He feels pretty awful and of course, sad about the whole thing actually as he was predicting bigger things this season and was setting up that way.

“I’m just impressed he was able to do a single turn, and he wouldn’t take a “no” on staying out of the pool.”

Price, if his body cooperates, is slated to swim in the consolation finals Saturday in the 100 free.

During his three years at CHS, the aquatic ace has been the only active male swimmer at the school, which does not have its own pool, or team.

Price joins swimmers from South Whidbey, with the group training and traveling with 4A Kamiak during the regular season.

Taygin Jump had herself quite a day.

Competing at the St. Lawrence Open in Canton, New York, Friday, the Coupeville grad captured a win in the weight throw, smashing her PR, while also earning a third place showing in the shot put.

The Plattsburgh State sophomore, who has been on a roll during the indoor track and field season, was on point all day.

Jump lobbed the shot put 31 feet, 2.50 inches to open things, then came back around to dominate in the weight throw.

Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister chucked her implement 44-06.75, besting her previous college high water mark of 42-6.75.

She also was an astounding four-feet-plus better than the second-place finisher, as she obliterated her eight opponents.

A volleyball and track star during her days in Coupeville, Taygin Jump is currently pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology when she’s not flexing in the athletic spotlight.

Plattsburgh State returns to action next weekend, Feb. 28-Mar. 1, when it competes at the SUNYAC Indoor Championships in Brockport, New York.

Season #51 is in the books.

Thursday’s playoff loss to Orcas Island put a cap on the 2024-2025 campaign for the Coupeville High School varsity girls’ hoops program, so now it’s time to update the career scoring chart.

We’re still missing stats from the inaugural season, as the Whidbey News-Times opted not to write about the 1974-1975 team (or girls sports in general…), but other than that, I feel pretty good about the numbers we’ve compiled.

Three departing seniors — Katie Marti, Lyla Stuurmans, and Mia Farris — cracked the top 50, while next year’s top returning scorer, current junior Teagan Calkins, sits at #52.
