Weekends are for throwing things really far.

Coupeville grads Taygin Jump and Logan Martin checked off another indoor track meet, while competing on different sides of the country.

Jump, a freshman at Plattsburgh State University, was busy in Utica, New York, where she competed in the weight throw at the Fast Trax Invite.

The former Wolf flung the implement 32 feet, 8.25 inches Saturday, claiming 20th in a field of 43 competitors.

Martin, a sophomore at Central Washington University, was in Spokane for the Riverfront Invitational.

He set PRs in both of his events this weekend, earning 20th (out of 36 throwers) in the weight throw Friday, chucking things 45-01.75.

After that, Martin returned to action Saturday in the shot put, finishing 30th out of 45 contestants with a throw of 41-07.

Plattsburgh hosts a home meet in New York Feb. 7, while CWU is slated to compete at the Whitworth Invitational in Spokane Feb. 9-10.

Best day yet.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump nailed PR’s in both her events Saturday at a four-team college track and field meet in Canton, New York.

The former Wolf, now a fab frosh at Plattsburgh State University, earned 2nd place in the women’s weight throw, tossing the implement 37 feet, four inches.

Jump also finished 7th (in a field of 13 competitors) in the shot put, hurling it 27-06 at the St. Lawrence Invitational.

Plattsburgh’s female crew was 2nd in the team standings, edged 146-143 by the hosts.

The Cardinals return to action next Saturday, Feb. 3 at the Fast Trax Invite in Utica, New York.

Joey Lippo’s classroom game remains strong.

Lippo, a senior who will play his final season of baseball for the Owls this spring, was hailed for his work during golf season.

The NAC has 14 schools, and the athletes honored covered “87 unique teams across eight sports.”

To be eligible, a student/athlete needed to achieve a GPA between 3.5 and 4.0.

The long layoff is over.

Coupeville grads Taygin Jump and Logan Martin returned to college track and field action Saturday in different parts of the country.

Jump, a freshman at Plattsburgh State in New York, enjoyed her first meet in six weeks, competing at the Middlebury Winter Classic in Vermont.

While there the former Wolf finished 10th in the weight throw and 24th in the shot put.

Jump tossed her implement 36 feet, five inches in the former, and 25-0.50 in the latter.

With the holidays behind them, the Cardinals get busy again, with eight indoor meets between now and early March.

First up is the St. Lawrence Invitational Jan. 27 in Canton, New York.

Martin, a sophomore at Central Washington University, wasn’t originally planning on competing during the indoor track season.

But then he decided he liked heat and was talked into adding the shot put and weight throw while he waits for hammer season to arrive outdoors.

Kicking off a new season at the Lauren McCluskey Memorial Open in Moscow, Idaho, Martin claimed 16th in the weight throw (43-01) and 20th (38-09) in the shot put while appearing on ESPN+.

Central Washington returns to action Jan. 26-27 at the University of Washington Invitational.

He’s danger from deep.

Coupeville grad Caleb Meyer came off the bench Saturday in Mount Vernon and made good on his opportunities.

The former Wolf ace got two shots in a 119-89 win over visiting Olympic College, and he drained them both, rattling the rim twice on three-ball attempts.

His six points helped the Cardinals keep alive their winning streak, as they ran their record to a flawless 17-0.

SVC will carry its #1 ranking back into battle Jan. 17 when it clashes with Everett College.

Meyer, currently in his sophomore season at Skagit, has racked up 16 points, four rebounds, five assists, and four steals during the campaign.

After attending Coupeville schools through 8th grade, he took a detour off-Island before returning to Cow Town for his senior year.

Rejoining the teammates he grew up with, Meyer was a huge factor in the Wolf boys’ basketball team going 16-0, winning league and district titles, and returning to the state tourney for the first time in three decades.

Once spring rolled around, he was a track and field powerhouse, capping his run by being part of the second-fastest 4 x 100 relay team among 2B schools.
