Former Wolf sizzles in Sunshine State

She finished her season with a flourish.

Outperforming her seed by five spots, Fernandina Beach High School junior Savina Wells claimed eighth place in the high jump Thursday at the FHSAA Class 2A State Track and Field Championships in Florida.

She was one of three Pirates to compete at state, and one of two to score points, joining javelin chucker Luke Twardy.

The former Coupeville supernova tied her season-best mark with a jump of four feet, 11.75 inches, barely missing her PR, which stands at 5-00 from her sophomore campaign.

Wells, who grew up playing multiple sports on Central Whidbey’s prairie, earned her ticket to state by winning a jump-off at regionals May 7, after finishing in a three-way tie for second place.

Along with the high jump, she also competed in the javelin, discus, and long jump this season, finishing fifth in the first of those events at regionals.

This was Wells second season of track at Fernandina Beach, and her first trip to state.

She also plays volleyball and basketball for the Pirates.

Ulrik and Izzy’s younger sister, sometimes referred to as “The Chosen One” by Cow Town sports bloggers back in the day, was a four-sport sensation as a young Wolf, also ripping up the softball field.

Coupeville’s loss became Florida’s gain when she and her family moved to the Sunshine State after her freshman year.

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.

Water wizard makes waves at state

He beat the odds to make a big splash.

Finn Price is the lone swimmer at Coupeville High School, and there’s no pool in Cow Town.

That means the Wolf sophomore heads South six days a week, picks up a gaggle of Falcon water wizards, then hops on a ferry and completes the trek to Kamiak High School.

Once the postseason arrives, Price and his fellow Whidbey pool men head off their own way, with Coupeville’s splash king still punching above his weight class.

Though CHS is a 2B school, the lowest rung for swim is 1A/2A, and that’s where Price qualified for the state meet.

Friday, he hit the water at the King County Aquatic Center, powering to a 15th place finish (out of 20 competitors) in the 100 free, hitting the wall in 52.83 seconds.

Price wrapped his big city odyssey with an 11th place showing in the 200 free, finishing in 1:55.83, beating his seeding time in both events.

CHS grappler shines at Mat Classic

On to day two!

Coupeville’s Jaje Drake won two of three matches Friday at Mat Classic XXXV in Tacoma, keeping alive his bid to bring home some hardware.

The Wolf senior, who is wrestling in the 215-pound class in the 2B/1B classification, opened with a win over Jacob Randall of Okanogan.

That moved Drake into the quarterfinals, where he put up a strong fight before falling to Gabriel Smith of Ritzville, one of four contestants in the 12-man field who had a first-round bye.

Springing right back into action, Coupeville’s lone grappler, who trained and traveled with South Whidbey during the regular season, roared back with a victory against Preston Stingley of Kittitas.

That pushes Drake into a showdown with Matthew Kenney of Rainier Saturday, the second time this season the duo have clashed.

The winner of that match is guaranteed to finish at least 6th, and could go as high as 3rd, while the loser is eliminated.

Drake, who was an All-Conference lineman for Coupeville football this fall, is the second Wolf in recent years to rep the red and black on the wrestling mat.

Current CHS football assistant coach Alex Turner also advanced to state in 2019 while following a similar path.

Coupeville is one of the few schools in the state not to have its own wrestling program, necessitating the agreement with South Whidbey.
