She’s back on her world tour.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, who calls Arizona home these days, has wrapped up her high school wrestling season, but not left the mat.

Instead, she’s pursuing pins and technical falls against the best of the country at national events such as this weekend’s US High School Women’s Open in Las Vegas.

LeVine, a junior at Casteel High School, split four matches against top-level competition, including getting revenge on a foe who eliminated her from a previous tourney.

The youngest of Sean and Joline’s three daughters, who used to give me rocks at her older sister’s games in Cow Town, hails from a family which has three inductees in the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame.

Siblings Micky and Jae, as well as pops, are all enshrined in our digital shrine.

She’s bringing home some more hardware.

Izzy LeVine and manager/hype man Sean LeVine hang out at a previous tourney.

She’s three-for-three.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, now a junior at Casteel High School in Arizona, has qualified for the state wrestling tournament for the third consecutive year.

The younger sister of Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers Micky and Jae overcame illness and injuries to advance out of sectionals and will join five of her teammates in making the trek to the big dance (on the big mat).

Casteel, which had nine grapplers in action, earned second place out of 20 teams at the Division 1, Section III meet.

Izzy finished fourth in the 132-pound class at sectionals, battling her way back into contention after a loss in the semifinals.

Coming into the tourney, she had won titles at her previous three events.

The Arizona state wrestling tourney goes down Feb. 21-22.

Another weekend, another title for Izzy LeVine.

The former Coupeville standout, currently a junior at Casteel High School in Arizona, is tearing up the wrestling mat again this year.

This time around, competing at the Sydelia Orr Knight Invite in Chandler, LeVine went a flawless 5-0 to claim a title in the 132-pound classification.

To nab the hardware, she had to survive an overtime win in the semifinals, before claiming the win in the finals after a three-round battle.

Casteel, which had just eight female grapplers on site, still placed third out of 30 teams, with LeVine and two teammates winning individual titles.

Izzy is the younger sister of former Wolf athletes Micky and Jae LeVine, who are both Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees, as is dad Sean for his work as a soccer coach.

Izzy, who grew up cheering for her siblings in Cow Town, is now a junior at Casteel High School.
