Taygin Jump

Her collegiate track and field season is long done, but the honors continue to roll in for Taygin Jump.

The Coupeville grad, who recently finished her junior year at Plattsburgh State in New York, was named Wednesday to the 2025-2026 SUNYAC Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll.

The State University of New York Athletic Conference recognized student-athletes who posted a 3.30 or better cumulative grade-point average.

Among Plattsburgh sports teams, the women’s track squad had the second-most honorees of any program, male or female, edged out just by women’s soccer.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management, has been a standout thrower for the Cardinals, racking up big numbers in the javelin, hammer, shot put, discus, and weight throw during her time in the Big Apple.

During her Cow Town days, Aleksia and Kahnor’s big sis was a key player for Wolf volleyball and track teams, while also competing in club volleyball on the side.

They’ll be trailblazers.

Coupeville grads Pamela Morrell and Ember Light, who anchored the CHS spirit team during their high school days, are helping launch a new cheer program at Whatcom College.

The former Wolves were picked for the school’s first-ever squad, which debuts this fall.

Morrell, who is studying nursing, and Light, who is pursuing an allied health degree with plans to move onto radiology school, were busy bees during their time in Cow Town.

The former was involved in the CHS Theater Troupe and is an accomplished artist, while the latter was a talented tennis player and yearbook photographer.

Morrell and Light graduated with the CHS Class of 2025 and were both in the top 10 that year for career GPA’s.

The duo also nabbed Student of the Quarter honors from the Coupeville Lions Club during their senior year.

They’re not the only former Wolves from their class to be an athlete at Whatcom, either, as fellow Class of ’25 grad Mia Farris played volleyball for the Orcas this past fall.

Playing on a stacked team, she still got noticed.

Coupeville grad Madison McMillan is part of an Edmonds College softball squad which sits at 39-2 heading into this weekend’s season-ending Northwest Athletic Conference Championship tourney.

Prior to the final batch of games kicking off, the NWAC released its list of award winners for the spring, with Tritons sophomore Scarlette Chapman being named the Most Valuable Player for the North Region.

Edmonds also received top honors for its coaching staff, while eight other players were named to the All-Conference teams.

That includes McMillan, tabbed as Second-Team pick at designated hitter/designated player.

During her freshman season the former Wolf ace has hit at a .457 clip — third-best on the team — while piling up 21 hits, 20 runs, four doubles, three home runs, 10 walks, 21 RBI, and a .739 slugging percentage.

Truth be told, McMillan actually has hammered five taters, only to have picky umps deny her twice because of minor technicalities.

Edmonds opens the championship tourney Thursday against Walla Walla, with play running through Sunday in Portland, Oregon.

During her CHS days, McMillan was a cornerstone player for the Wolf volleyball, basketball, and softball programs, helping lead the spikers and sluggers to state.

He was a point-scoring machine.

Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a junior at Oregon Tech, helped the Hustlin’ Owls rack up positive numbers in La Grande at the two-day Cascade Collegiate Conference Track and Field Championships.

The former Wolf opened with a busy Friday, finishing 7th in the 110 hurdles, where he nailed a PR of 15.45 seconds, and 10th in the long jump, sailing 22 feet, 00.25 inches.

Wyman also ran a leg on a 4 x 100 relay team which picked up points with a 7th place performance, hitting the tape in 42.74 seconds.

After a brief bit of rest, Ayden and Devon’s big bro returned to action in the triple jump Saturday, garnering another PR by launching his body 41 feet, six inches for a 17th place performance.

When he’s not in action with the track squad, the eldest of the Wyman siblings is an honors student studying embedded systems engineering technology at Oregon Tech.

Taygin Jump

She’s in the inner circle.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a track and field star in her junior year at Plattsburgh State in New York, was inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma Monday at her university’s Student-Athlete Recognition and Awards Ceremony.

Chi Alpha Sigma is a national honor society which recognizes collegiate student-athletes who “excel academically and athletically.”

Requirements include being a varsity athlete who has lettered at a four-year college or university, being a junior or senior, maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher and receiving an endorsement from their head coach “confirming good moral character.”

Established in 1996 by Nick Mourouzis of DePauw University in Indiana, Chi Alpha Sigma has grown to include 470 chapters across the country.

Jump, who is studying Environmental Planning and Management, is a thrower for the Cardinals.

She’s coming off a strong performance at the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where she finished 5th in the javelin and set a PR in the hammer throw.

During her CHS days, Jump competed in volleyball and track and field for the Wolves.
