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.

Tamsin Ward is not messing around.
The Coupeville Middle School 6th grader won three events Thursday in her home track and field debut, giving her five victories across her first two meets.
Ward romped to wins in the 100, shot put, and long jump, setting PR’s in the latter two of those events.
Facing off with South Whidbey and Lakewood, the Wolves won 10 events and set 86 PR’s on a cold, wet “spring” afternoon.
Joining Ward on the victory stand was fellow 6th grader Hyley Farrell, who won the 200 and led off a victorious 4 x 200 relay unit.
That team also included 6th graders Kennedy O’Neill, Elizabeth Marshall, and Sage Stavros.
CMS 7th graders Lillian Ketterling (Discus), Wyatt Fitch-Marron (High Jump), Roger Merino-Martinez (Long Jump), and Nick Laska (Discus) came out on top as well, with Kayla Crane (1600) the lone Wolf 8th grader to win an event.
Coupeville’s 6th/7th grade girls won the team title, joining Lakewood (6th/7th boys) and South Whidbey (8th girls, 8th boys) as front-runners.
Pulling off a successful home meet, especially on a dank day, took the work of many, with high school coaches and athletes helping their middle school counterparts.
CHS alum Jaylen Nitta, who has worked with both the middle and high school teams, stepped in to be the starter, and kept everything moving smoothly.
The young Wolves return to action next Wednesday, May 10, when they host South Whidbey for the final home meet of the season.
