Track’s back.

Staying indoors, where January weather is a little less of a problem, two Coupeville grads launched a new season of competition this weekend.

Taygin Jump, a junior at Plattsburgh State, was busy at the Middlebury Winter Classic in Vermont Saturday, while Tate Wyman, an Oregon Tech junior, vied at the Nevada Invitational Friday and Saturday.

Jump finished 8th in the weight throw, chucking her implement 42 feet, 3.25 inches, while also claiming 12th in the shot put with a heave of 29-01.

Plattsburgh returns to action next Saturday, Jan. 24, at a meet hosted by St. Lawrence in New York.

Wyman hit the oval running, competing in three events at his first 2026 meet.

The former Wolf set a PR in the 60-meter hurdles Friday, hitting the tape in 8.79 seconds, while also soaring 20 feet, eight inches in the long jump.

Saturday he was back in action, running the 200 in 22.97 seconds.

Oregon Tech is slated to head back to Nevada Feb. 5-6 for the Wolfpack Classic in Reno.

When they’re not competing in the arena, Jump is studying Environmental Planning & Management, while Wyman is hard at work in the field of embedded systems engineering technology.
