Wherever there is a wrestling mat, there you will find her — beatin’ the crud out of her rivals.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, who lives in Arizona with the parental figures these days, continues to tear up the wrestling world.

This lil’ sis of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers Micky and Jae LeVine, the former Wolf was busy in Vegas recently at the 2024 edition of Freakshow.

Izzy, who is grappling with the Stampede Wrestling Club, earned 2nd place in the Girls 18U Elite division.

The youngest LeVine went 7-3 on the weekend with five pins.

When not chasing mat glory, she attends Casteel High School in Queen Creek, Arizona.

Come at her and she’ll plant you.

Coupeville alumni Izzy LeVine continues to wreck people on wrestling mats across the country, chewing up one foe after another.

Her latest conquest came at the 59th annual Doc Wright Invitational Saturday in Winslow, Arizona.

Competing in the 126-pound classification, LeVine roared to yet another title, pinning rivals from Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona.

She and her teammates from Casteel High School claimed 2nd out of 28 teams in the overall standings.

Izzy, who attended Coupeville schools as a youngster, is the sister of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees Micky and Jae LeVine.

Dad Sean, who helped build soccer programs on Whidbey, is also in our digital shrine, while mom Joline is the true power behind the throne.

Former Wolf a titanic terror on the mat

Izzy LeVine is chasing a state title and looking stronger each day.

The former Coupeville supernova, now toiling on the wrestling mats in Arizona, closed 2023 with another stellar performance, which bodes well for 2024.

Mickey and Jae’s lil’ sis, who grapples for Casteel High School, claimed 3rd place at the Mile High Challenge in Prescott Valley, going 4-1 in tourney action.

She notched all of her victories by pin, before losing a tense tussle with the defending state champ in her weight class.

The youngest LeVine sister is 26-2 on the season as the calendar prepares to flip to a new year.

“Iz looked tough and continues to improve!” said dad Sean.

Overall, Casteel earned 5th place, out of 32 schools, in the team standings.

During their days in Cow Town, Izzy’s parents both worked in the medical field, while her sisters were multi-sport stars at Coupeville High School.

While her wrestling career didn’t hit the stratosphere until after a family move to Arizona, Joline’s youngest was a vocal fan for her sister’s athletic exploits while attending Coupeville Elementary.

The mat, and the wrestler standing on it, tremble when Izzy LeVine swaggers into view.

The former Coupeville student, forever known as the little girl who gave me rocks at her older sister’s various sporting events, continues to terrorize rival grapplers in her new life.

Now a student at Casteel High School in Arizona, Izzy, the heir to the shining athletic legacy set by Micky and Jae, is a wrestler on a rampage.

Her latest stop, as 2023 prepares to exit out the door and be replaced by 2024, was the Fierce Filly Showdown in Queen Creek.

While operating on her home mats, the youngest LeVine claimed 2nd place at 128 pounds, ripping off five straight pins to open the tourney.

While Izzy was nipped by a top-ranked foe in a nailbiter championship match, she helped lead Casteel to a team title at the 20-squad event.

There’s no wrasslin’ in Coupeville, so we have to wander off to other towns if we want to see grapplers at work.

Photographer John Fisken was in Oak Harbor Wednesday, and the photos above and below capture the Wildcats facing off with Island rival South Whidbey.

I won’t pretend to know who a single one of these wrestlers is, but I’m happy to pass on the pics in exchange for page hits.

To see everything Fisken shot, and possibly purchase some presents for the in-laws, pop over to:
