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.

Tate Wyman

His balance between classwork and oval achievement remains impeccable.

Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a junior track and field star at Oregon Tech, was one of 41 Owls across six sports honored April 30 as a 2026 NAIA Scholar-Athlete.

This is the second time the former Wolf, who is studying embedded systems engineering technology, has been tabbed for the achievement, after he also received it as a sophomore — the first year a student/athlete is eligible.

To earn the honor, you have to maintain a 3.50 GPA or higher.

Wyman was one of eight male track and field athletes to qualify, with Oregon Tech students from softball, baseball, women’s track and field, and men’s and women’s golf also honored.

Earlier in April, Ayden and Devon’s older brother was also named to the U.S. Bank Academic All-Cascade Collegiate Conference team, which requires a 3.2 GPA.

Putting books aside for a moment or two, Tate will compete in the league championship meet May 8-9 in La Grande, Oregon.

Taygin Jump

She’s a one-woman wrecking crew.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a junior at Plattsburgh State, scored four of her team’s five points Friday during day one of the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

The two-day event, held in Cortland, New York, brings together 13 schools to vie for oval excellence.

Jump, competing in the javelin and hammer throw, finished 5th and 10th respectively in fields of 15 and 22 competitors.

She chucked the javelin 88 feet, six inches, earning her four points for the Cardinals, while airmailing the hammer 138-08, setting a PR in the event.

The former Wolf ace, who competed in volleyball and track and field during her Cow Town days, is balancing athletic life with classroom work.

Jump, whose younger siblings Aleksia and Khanor are following in her footsteps at CHS, has been named to several All-Academic teams while studying Environmental Planning and Management.

It was an award worthy performance.

Coming off of one of her best days as a collegiate track and field star, Coupeville grad Taygin Jump was honored Tuesday by Plattsburgh State athletics, selected as a Cardinal of the Week.

She and male track athlete Thomas Clark were hailed for their work at the SLU Twilight Invite April 24 in Canton, New York.

While there, Jump won the hammer throw and finished second in both the discus and javelin.

That helped carry the Cardinals to a second-place finish in the team standings.

Jump, a junior at Plattsburgh, is pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning and Management when she’s not busy chucking things far, far away.

During her days in Cown Town, she competed in school and club volleyball, as well as track and field.
