New season, new accomplishments.

Coupeville grads Taygin Jump and Tate Wyman moved outdoors Saturday, kicking off the second half of their collegiate track and field seasons, with both finding immediate success.

No longer tucked away from the weather as they were during the indoor part of the campaign, the former Wolves lit up the joint on opposite coasts.

Wyman, a junior at Oregon Tech, competed in the Linfield Jenn Boyman Memorial Invitational in McMinnville, hitting the tape in three events.

He finished 5th in the 110 hurdles in 15.85 seconds, sailed to a 6th place finish in the long jump (22 feet, 03.75 inches), and was part of a 4 x 100 relay unit which claimed 7th in 42.93 seconds.

Wyman’s former CHS teammate had an even more impressive day while vying at the Saints Ice Breaker in Canton, New York.

Jump, a junior at Plattsburgh State, spent her time chucking things, claiming a title in the hammer throw with a PR of 131-04, which was almost 15 feet better than her closest competitor.

She also earned 3rd place finishes in the discus (90-07) and javelin (91-09), with the first of those heaves also being a PR.

Overall, Jump scored 21 points for Plattsburgh, helping the Cardinals to a second place showing in the team standings.

When the Wolf alums aren’t busy in the arena, both are honor students, with Jump studying environmental planning and management, while Wyman pursues a degree in embedded systems engineering technology.
