Every race a new PR.

Or at least it might seem that way lately for Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, who has been ripping up the oval in the collegiate track and field world.

The former Wolf, now a sophomore at Oregon Tech, was back at work this weekend at the John Knight Twilight meet in Monmouth, Oregon.

Wyman competed in three events over two days, setting personal bests in both the 200, where he hit the tape in 22.93 seconds, and the 400 hurdles, where he clocked in at 1:01.19.

Joining his teammates, Ayden and Devon’s big bro also ran a leg on a 4 x 100 relay squad which finished in 43.43.

Tate and his associates are back in action next weekend, with the Hustlin’ Owls slated to host the Oregon Tech Invitational April 18-19.

If the lights are shining, so is Taygin Jump.

The Coupeville High School grad, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, was back in action Friday at the RPI Friday Night Under the Lights Invitational in Troy, New York.

The track and field star accounted for five of her team’s 46 points, claiming 5th in the javelin (out of a field of 22 competitors) and 8th (of 27) in the hammer throw.

Jump set a collegiate PR in the latter event, flinging her implement 127 feet, five inches, while launching the javelin a solid 95-09.

A stellar multi-sport athlete who participated in volleyball and track back in her CHS days, the former Wolf is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management/Geology.

Plattsburgh State athletes will be back in action next weekend with two meets.

The Bobbi Palma Spring Classic in Albany, New York goes down Friday, April 18, while the Middlebury Invitational is the next day in Vermont.

Their time on the sidelines is done.

With spring break having played out last week, Coupeville High School track and field athletes could do little more than bide their time with no new meets.

That allowed for other prep stars from across the state to slip past the Wolves in some places on the top 10 charts for 2B schools.

But now, class is back in session and Coupeville returns to competition at the Birger Solberg Invitational in Bellingham this coming Saturday.

For Wolves like Carson Field, who slipped from #1 to #4 in the 800 over the course of the past week, the chance to control their own fates is once more open.

Let the number-crunching begin anew!

For now, through April 7, here’s where CHS oval queens and kings sit among all 2B competitors:

 

GIRLS:

800 — Lyla Stuurmans (8th) 2:33.53

Shot Put — Katie Marti (7th) 32-08

Pole Vault — Aleksia Jump (7th-tie) 7-00

 

BOYS:

800 — Carson Field (4th) 2:05.85

4 x 100 Relay — Marquette Cunningham, Matthew Ward, Preston Epp, Chase Anderson (9th) 46.20

High Jump — Cael Wilson (4th) 6-00; Davin Houston (6th) 5-08

Pole Vault — Wilson (6th) 11-06; Axel Marshall (8th) 10-06

Tate Wyman

He’s still got that zing.

Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a sophomore at Oregon Tech, zipped around the track oval Saturday in McMinnville, Oregon.

Competing for the Hustlin’ Owls at the Jenn Boyman Invitational, the former Wolf set a PR in the 110 hurdles while also running legs on Oregon Tech’s 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relay squads.

The 4 x 1 unit earned 5th place (out of nine teams) with a time of 43.47 seconds, while the 4 x 4 finished 5th in a field of 11 squads in 3:28.28.

Wyman also placed 10th, out of a field of 24 competitors, in the hurdles, hitting the tape in 15.99.

His previous collegiate PR was 16.07.

During his days at CHS, Wyman was a standout track and cross country runner, earning a 2nd place medal in the 4 x 100 at the state meet his senior season.

Oregon Tech returns to action April 11-12, when the track team travels to Monmouth, Oregon for the John Knight Twilight meet.

She’s off to a roaring start.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, opened the outdoor track and field season Friday by flinging her javelin into the wild blue yonder.

When the implement came crashing back down to Earth at the Hamilton Outdoor Invitational in Clinton, New York, the former Wolf had a PR of 103 feet, eight inches, good for 2nd place in a 14-woman field.

Jump joined teammates Marissa LeDuc (Long Jump) and Isabella Scott (400), as well as Plattsburgh’s 4 x 100 relay squad in claiming runner-up finishes in the opener.

When she’s not chucking things at track meets, or pursuing her well-documented love of rocks, Aleksia and Khanor’s older sibling is pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology.

Plattsburgh track and field returns to action April 11 at the “RPI Friday Night Under the Lights” in Troy, New York.
