She’s always on the prowl, looking for more victories.

Izzy LeVine, who grew up in Cow Town alongside older sisters (and Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famers) Micky and Jae, continues to dominate in the high stakes wrestling world.

Now a junior at Casteel High School in Arizona, Izzy claimed another title this past weekend, going a pristine 5-0 at the 60th annual Doc Wright Invitational in Winslow.

The youngest of Sean and Joline’s three superstar daughters collected two pins and two wins by technical fall en route to the final.

Once there, Izzy closed things out with a solid 9-4 victory to claim the crown.

Casteel, which placed three grapplers on the podium, finished 8th out of 35 teams, with wrestlers from four states participating in the tourney.

A former Wolf has found her groove as a Wildcat.

Riley White, an eternal ball of energy, transferred from Coupeville High School to my alma mater – Oak Harbor – for the last trimester last year.

This time around, now that her body has accepted purple and gold being used on uniforms, she’s picked up several sports not offered at her former school.

White, previously a standout ballet dancer, swam in the fall — making it to state as an alternate for a relay team — and is now wrestling as winter kicks off.

She also has earned a slot on the Wildcat ROTC marksmanship team.

New season, same old domination on the wrestling mat.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine whipped up on everyone in sight Saturday at the Arizona Women’s Cup, winning all five of her matches en route to a title.

Competing at Poston Butte High School in San Tan Valley, the Casteel junior helped spark her squad to a 3rd place finish in the team standings.

The Colts finished ahead of 29 other teams despite having just six grapplers on site, thanks to LeVine and three of her teammates medaling.

While much of her wrestling success has come after a family move to Arizona, the youngest of Sean and Joline’s three daughters already showed signs of growing into a superstar while the family lived on Whidbey.

Her dad and older sisters Micky and Jae are all Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame inductees.

The Arizona Women’s Cup officially kicked off the high school season, though Izzy has been hard at work almost year-round, as she terrorizes foes on the mat both in her Casteel uniform and as a free-lancer.

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.

Ground and pound.

Whether on the mat or the sand, former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine continues to shred foes in the world of wrestling.

The younger sis of Micky and Jae was at the heartbeat of the sport in Fargo for the US Marine Corps Nationals, where she went 2-2 against top-level competition.

LeVine opened by crunching a rival from North Carolina 11-0, before winning a 6-5 thriller against a North Dakota girl who is ranked #10 in the nation.

Close losses to grapplers from Indiana and Ohio prevented the Arizona-based former Wolf from placing, but she immediately rebounded.

Transitioning to a new surface at the Beach Nationals, she captured a bronze medal to cap her wild week.

“We are very proud of all her hard work!” said dad Sean.

Izzy, who grew up in Coupeville as her older siblings starred on CHS soccer, tennis, softball, volleyball, and basketball teams, currently attends Casteel High School in Chandler Heights, Arizona.
