Her bat still has its bark.

Coupeville grad Madison McMillan tallied three more RBI’s Sunday and scored a run, helping her Edmonds College softball squad keep its win streak alive.

Sweeping visiting Skagit Valley College 22-1 and 13-4 in a doubleheader, the Tritons get to 16-1 on the season as they head towards the halfway mark of the schedule.

Edmonds, which is 9-1 at home and 7-0 on the road, has 24 regular season games left, with a home twin-bill against Highline College set for this coming Wednesday, Mar. 25.

McMillan, a freshman third baseman, has seen action in 12 games, racking up a .391 batting average while hitting two home runs and 13 RBIs.

She has nine hits, eight runs, and three walks, as well.

The former Wolf ace, best known for crushing home runs which were later found down the street in the Prairie Center parking lot, was a three-sport star and stellar student during her CHS days.

She was a key member of Wolf volleyball, basketball, and softball teams, helping lead the spikers and sluggers to glory at the state tourney.

The Wolves are busy on the next level.

Coupeville grads Tate Wyman and Madison McMillan are both spending a chunk of their weekend playing college sports and excelling while doing it.

Wyman, a junior at Oregon Tech, competed in the Pacific Northwest Invite in Corvallis, Oregon Friday and Saturday, helping his team kick off the outdoor track and field season.

Ayden and Devon’s big bro set a PR in the 200, hitting the tape in 22.86 seconds, while soaring 20 feet, 2.50 inches in the long jump, and clocking a 16.17 in the 110 hurdles.

Meanwhile, McMillan, a freshman at Edmonds College, picked up two hits and scored twice Saturday as the Tritons softball team swept a doubleheader from visiting Douglas College.

Edmonds claimed the opener 8-0, then won the nightcap 11-1 in a game mercy-ruled after five innings.

McMillan and Co. are 14-1 on the season and will carry a 14-game winning streak into action Sunday, when they host Skagit Valley College in another twin-bill.

Madison McMillan

She’s found her groove.

Coupeville grad Madison McMillan is on a tear of late, hammering the ball at a wicked clip for a red-hot Edmonds College softball squad.

And Wednesday was a prime example, as the former Wolf bomber put together a stellar performance to help lift the Tritons to a doubleheader sweep of visiting Pierce College.

Winning 11-1 and 8-4, with McMillan delivering the go-ahead hit in the nightcap, Edmonds runs its win streak to 12 and sits at 12-1 heading into a busy weekend.

The Tritons host Douglas College Saturday and Skagit Valley College Sunday, playing four more games as long as Mother Nature cooperates.

Squaring off with Pierce, McMillan rapped a single in the opener, then delivered a three-hit, three-RBI, two-run, one-walk master class in the second game.

Her biggest blow was a two-run double in the bottom of the sixth which put Edmonds ahead for good at 6-4.

While she’s now a college standout, McMillan’s legend still looms large in Cow Town, where she played volleyball, basketball, and softball for CHS, helping lead the spikers and sluggers to the state tourney.

She’s a made woman.

Coupeville grad Madison McMillan delivered her second home run as a college softball player Wednesday, and it was an impressive one, as the former Wolf hammered the ball over the fence in left center.

That helped carry Edmonds College to a 13-1 win and a doubleheader sweep of visiting Shoreline, lifting the Tritons to a crisp 10-1 on the season.

McMillan has played in six games so far, collecting two home runs, six RBI, three runs, and a walk.

At least.

Edmonds stats aren’t 100% correct at the moment, but the Tritons are winning regardless.

McMillan and her teammates, who have reeled off 10 straight wins after losing on Opening Day, return to action this Saturday with a road doubleheader against Bellevue.

During her CHS days, McMillan was a standout volleyball, basketball, and softball player for the Wolves, helping take the spikers and sluggers to state tournament success.

She’s shining on the big stage.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a junior at Plattsburgh State, set a PR in the weight throw Friday, earning points for the Cardinals by finishing 7th in a field of 22 competitors.

The former Wolf was competing at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Indoor Track and Field Championships in Brockport, New York.

Jump’s best throw Friday traveled 44 feet, 10.25 inches, besting her previous top mark of 44-09, set just a week ago.

A standout volleyball and track and field athlete during her Cow Town days, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sister is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management at Plattsburgh.

The Cardinals wrap the indoor season with two more postseason meets for qualifiers — the All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Conference Championships and the NCAA D-III Championships — before moving outdoors as the weather warms.
