Tate Wyman

He’s smart and fast.

Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a junior studying embedded systems engineering technology at Oregon Tech, had a busy, varied week.

Thursday he was one of 14 Hustlin’ Owl male track and field stars to be tabbed to the U.S. Bank Academic All-Cascade Collegiate Conference team, an honor reserved for student/athletes earning a 3.2 GPA or higher.

Then Saturday Wyman returned to the arena, competing at the Nancy and Norm Berney Classic in Salem, where he picked up 10 points for his team with a 3rd place finish in the 110 hurdles (16.35 seconds) and a 5th in the long jump (21 feet, 5.25 inches).

Oregon Tech held off meet host Corban 148-133 to win the men’s team title.

Taygin Jump, ready to take on the world.

Ice Cube would agree, it was a good day for Taygin Jump.

The Coupeville grad, now a junior track and field star at Plattsburgh State, nailed top-two finishes in all three of her throwing events Friday at the SLU Twilight Invite in Canton, New York.

The former Wolf won the hammer throw, chucking her implement 125 feet, 11 inches, while also finishing second in the discus (93-06) and javelin (92-00).

Jump’s impressive performance helped carry the Cardinals to a second-place finish in the team standings at the meet, which was hosted by St. Lawrence College.

When she’s not busy chucking things, Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister is an honor student pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning and Management.

Landon Roberts is back in black.

Give them their moment, and they’ll deliver.

Coupeville grads Landon Roberts and Madison McMillan are part of deep diamond rosters at Walla Walla College and Edmonds College, respectively, so neither former Wolf is playing full-time as a freshman.

But they’re drawing notice when they get the call.

Roberts is part of a pitching staff which has used 14 hurlers this season, but he’s appeared in four games, which puts him in the thick of things for a squad where no mound man has more than nine games to their credit.

His best performance came recently against Wenatchee Valley, where he came on in relief and picked up his first collegiate strikeouts, whiffing two of the four hitters he faced.

Madison McMillan (left) is pounding the softball.

McMillan, meanwhile, is part of an Edmonds squad which is streaking at 27-2 after sweeping a doubleheader against Shoreline Sunday.

The power-hitting third baseman picked up four hits, three runs, and a walk as the Tritons came out on top 26-2 and 20-0 in games mercy-ruled after five innings.

On the season McMillan has racked up a .394 batting average across 19 games, with 12 runs, 13 hits, three doubles, three home runs, 18 RBI, and seven walks.

Unofficially, she should be sitting with five taters but has twice had umps wave off moonballs due to team base-running technicalities.

Tate Wyman

New weekend, new highlights.

Coupeville grads Tate Wyman and Taygin Jump, competing in different parts of the country, both delivered strong performances as collegiate track and field athletes this weekend.

The former, a junior at Oregon Tech, was at the Raider Invitational in Ashland, Oregon, while the latter, a junior at Plattsburgh State in New York, was busy at the Middlebury Invitational in Vermont.

Wyman delivered a 3rd place finish in the long jump, soaring 21 feet, 4.75 inches, and a 4th place performance in the triple jump, touching down at the 40-02.75 mark.

He also ran in the 100 (11.35 seconds) and 200 (23.12) while competing in the maximum four events.

Meanwhile Jump was busy chucking things, setting a PR in the hammer throw, where she launched her implement 135 feet, four inches to claim a 3rd place finish.

She rounded things out with 8th place finishes in the javelin (79-03) and discus (92-11), staying busy as the day unfolded.

When they’re not competing in the arena, Wyman and Jump are studying Embedded Systems Engineering Technology and Environmental Planning, respectively.

The track and field spotlight was on her Friday night.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump was back in action in Troy, New York, competing at the RPI Under the Lights Invitational hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

The Plattsburgh State junior earned 3rd place in the javelin, chucking her spear 101 feet, eight inches to beat out 21 other competitors.

Jump also set a PR in the discus, flinging it 93-07 to finish 20th out of 41 athletes. That was a solid three feet better than her previous top mark.

The former Wolf, who played volleyball and competed in track during her CHS days, is an honor roll student studying Environmental Planning and Management at Plattsburgh.
