She’s a marvel on the mats

Izzy LeVine and the parental units.

She’s grapplin’ across the USA.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, who lives in Arizona these days, continues to pursue excellence on the wrestling mat.

The Casteel High School sophomore’s latest venture was a performance this past weekend in the girls’ high school showcase division at the 2024 US Open Championships in Las Vegas.

LeVine, who grew up on Whidbey as the youngest of Sean and Joline’s three mega-talented daughters, went 2-2 in the 135-pound weight class against some of the best competition in the country.

She entered as the #13 seed (out of 30 grapplers) and knocked off the current Utah state champion (6-0) and a wrestler from Colorado (12-2), while narrowly falling short against competitors from Michigan and California.

To be in the field, a wrestler had to have placed in their state tourney, as LeVine did, or be an All-American.

Micky and Jae’s lil’ sis is “looking forward to working toward qualifying again for next year!” according to her PR man, who doubles as her father.

Bigger the mats, better the performance

Izzy LeVine and proud pops Sean.

Not Coupeville, maybe, but closer.

Former Wolf Izzy LeVine, who now attends school in Arizona, was back in Washington state this weekend, competing at the US Marine Corps Women’s National Championships wrestling tourney in Spokane.

While there, the youngest member of the LeVine clan split four matches, winning two and losing two while missing the quarterfinals by just a single match.

And she’ll be back.

“She gained some awesome national experience and will still be able to compete in U17 again here next year!” said dad Sean LeVine.

Izzy, currently a sophomore at Casteel High School in Chandler Heights, is the younger sister of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers Micky and Jae LeVine.

During her Cow Town days, she used to give me rocks at Jae’s softball games, while now she has grown up to rock fools on the wrestling mat.

She still rules the mat.

Her school season is over, but former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine is right back at it, with the start of freestyle wrestling.

And by right back at it, I mean right back at thumping fools and taking names.

Micky and Jae’s ever feisty lil’ sis was bumped up three weight classes for her freestyle opener, yet still went out and drilled everyone in her path, winning a title and making a loud statement.

Izzy, now a sophomore at Casteel High School, qualified for Arizona’s national team for the third straight year, while also punching her ticket to the US Marine Corps Nationals – the world’s largest youth wrasslin’ tourney.

“Super proud of her performance today!” said proud pops Sean.

It will be a return trip to Fargo for the LeVine family, as the youngest of Joline’s three mega-star daughters also competed at nationals a year ago.

One more award before the season is officially done.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, now a top-level high school grappler in Arizona, was named to the All-Chandler United School District girls’ wrestling team.

Micky and Jae’s lil’ sis, who placed fourth at the state meet during her sophomore season at Casteel High School, was honored as the best in the 126-pound class.

CUSD, the second-largest school district in Arizona, serves 43,000+ students from K-12 and boasts six high schools.

LeVine, who grew up haunting the ballfields and gyms in Cow Town before a family move plucked her from Whidbey prior to high school, went 47-5 during her most-recent season.

She won three of five matches at the state tourney, including a narrow loss to eventual state champ Brianna Reyes, a senior.

Both of her sisters, and dad Sean, are all members of the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame, and mom Joline should probably be in there too.

Izzy LeVine took a chomp out of Arizona wrestling.

The Casteel High School sophomore, who grew up haunting the ballfields and gyms of Coupeville, claimed fourth place at the state wrestling meet Saturday in Phoenix.

Izzy, the rampaging “lil’ sis” of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees Micky and Jae LeVine, won three of five matches.

Competing in the 126-pound class, the tenacious one opened with two wins Friday, before losing a close one to eventual state champ Brianna Reyes, a senior.

LeVine bounced back Saturday during action at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, pinning her first foe before being edged out in the 3rd/4th place bout.

She finishes the high school season with a sterling 47-5 mark.
