One of Coupeville’s best and brightest is on the mend.

Wolf junior Jenn Spark, owner of the most ferocious leg to ever patrol the backfield on a soccer pitch, underwent extensive surgery today to fix her knee, which she blew out late in a game earlier this month.

After having the work done at Seattle Children’s in Bellevue, Spark hit Twitter to muse “I’m on so many drugs, it’s funny.”

Hopefully the pain killers (and the doctors) do their work, and do it well.

All of Wolf Nation is pulling for a fast, fairly painless recovery for the feistiest of defenders.

We hope to see you back on the pitch sooner rather than later. But more than that, we want to see you walking without pain, enjoying your life.

All the best, Sparky, from all of your many fans.

A two-year starter for Coupeville High School, the 2014 grad also had his MCL repaired and his meniscus stitched up.

He’s on crutches currently, but is supposed to ditch them by the end of the week.

Stitches will be removed next week, and Langvold will start physical therapy. A full recovery is expected in nine months.
