Savina soars skyward

She’s still touching the stars.

Former Wolf supernova Savina Wells capped an impressive first year in the Sunshine State with another standout track and field performance.

The Coupeville protege, now a sophomore at Fernandina Beach High School, claimed 4th place in the high jump at regionals after winning the event at districts.

Wells cleared the bar at four feet, 9.75 inches, narrowly missing out on an invitation to the state championships.

The younger sister of Ulrik and Izzy topped out this year at 5-00, which would put her two inches off the school record for girls, if she was still living in Coupeville.

Savina and her family, both those of the human variety and pug variety, moved from Washington state to Florida after her freshman year at CHS.

She has excelled as a volleyball, basketball, and track athlete at her new home, continuing a career of athletic excellence which began from the day she first walked.

During her time in Coupeville, the youngest of Lyle and Katy’s children was one of the best and brightest, from her little league softball and SWISH basketball days through her time as a middle school and high school athlete.

Former Wolf ace soars skyward

If she was still in Coupeville, she’d be two inches off the school record.

Of course, Savina Wells, onetime Wolf supernova, now lives in Florida, where she’s a sophomore at Fernandina Beach High School.

So, while her current accomplishments have no impact on the CHS track and field record board, her high-flying exploits still reverberate with her Whidbey fan club.

Wells cleared the high jump bar at an even five feet Thursday, tying her PR, to win a title at the district meet, and advance to regionals.

The CHS all-time mark for girls, set by Yashmeen Knox in 1999, is 5-02.

Wells has also vied in the long jump and 100 in her first season at Fernandina Beach, after delivering strong volleyball and basketball campaigns.

While growing up in Coupeville, Savina, younger sister of fellow Wolf stars Ulrik and Izzy Wells, was a marquee player in multiple sports.

Volleyball, basketball, softball, track and field, and doing cartwheels across the little league fields at Rhododendron Park — she was the undisputed queen.

And might have been referred to as “The Chosen One” in stories written at 2:00 AM by overly excitable bloggers.

Or at least that’s the rumor.

Giant killers.

Facing off with three large 2A schools Wednesday, lil’ Coupeville (small even by 1A standards) pulled off three wins and set 32 PRs at a four-team track meet in Bremerton.

The Wolves didn’t have the depth to upend North Kitsap, Olympic and Sequim in the team standings — the CHS girls finished third, the boys fourth — but they more than held their own as individuals.

Sophomore sensations Danny Conlisk (400) and Lindsey Roberts (100 hurdles) ran away with titles, with Conlisk narrowly missing out on a double dip.

He came within a second of also winning the 800, one of seven 2nd place finishes compiled by the Wolves.

The third win came courtesy the men’s 4 x 100 relay squad, which was comprised of seniors Jacob Martin and Mitchell Carroll and juniors Cameron Toomey-Stout and Jacob Smith.
