He’ll rest tomorrow.

Coupeville grad Tate Wyman had a busy, and productive Friday, competing in three track and field events almost at the same time at the Cascade Collegiate Conference Outdoor Championships.

Wyman, now a sophomore at Oregon Tech, bounced between the 4 x 100 relay, the long jump, and the 110 hurdles while vying at Southern Oregon University in Ashland.

Literally.

The former Wolf ran in the relay, zipped over and did two jumps, rambled off to run the hurdles, then returned to finish his field event.

And how did he do while ping-ponging around?

Pretty dang good, as Wyman nabbed three top five finishes and two PRs before he was done.

Ayden and Devon’s big bro finished 3rd in the long jump, sailing 22 feet, 5.75 inches, beating his previous collegiate best.

He also set a PR in the hurdles, claiming 4th in 15.75 seconds, while running a leg on a relay team which earned 5th in 42.31.

The oldest of the Wyman siblings is continuing a run of excellence, as he was a top cross country runner and track athlete before graduating in 2023 from Coupeville High School.

Taygin Jump

No matter the day or time, she’s going to give you her best.

Taygin Jump’s odyssey at the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships went a bit longer than expected this weekend, but the former Wolf finished with a bang.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, started the two-day meet in Cortland, New York on Friday by finishing sixth in the javelin toss, uncorking a throw of 94 feet, two inches.

Then she and her fellow competitors started the hammer throw, only to have poor weather shut things down early.

Instead of finishing Friday, Jump and company returned to the arena at the crack of dawn Saturday, with Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister setting a PR by launching her implement 127-08.

That was three inches better than her previous collegiate high-water mark and earned the Cardinal thrower ninth place out of 20 contestants.

Jump, who played school and club volleyball and competed in track and field during her CHS days, is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management/Geology at Plattsburgh.

Tate Wyman is burning up the track, and the books.

The Coupeville High School grad, now a sophomore at Oregon Tech, finished 2nd in the 100 and 3rd in the 200 Saturday at the Nancy and Norm Berney Classic in Salem.

Wyman hit the tape in 11.44 seconds in the shorter event, and 23.04 in the longer one.

He also stacked up well against a large field of competitors, with 27 men participating in the 100 and 16 coming to the line for the 200.

Overall, Wyman picked up 14 points for the Hustlin’ Owls.

His performance at Saturday’s meet capped a stellar couple of days for the former Wolf, who was honored earlier in the week for his academic performance.

Wyman was named to both the Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes list, which honors students who have at least a 3.50 grade point average, and to the Cascade Conference All-Academic team.

Taygin Jump ended the regular season with a bang.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore track and field star at Plattsburgh State, competed in three events Friday at the SLU Twilight Invite in Canton, New York, handily winning both the hammer throw and javelin toss.

Jump chucked her hammer 125 feet, five inches, finishing 21 feet, 11 inches ahead of the second-place finisher.

The former Wolf ace also claimed the title in the javelin with a heave of 95-09, this time placing exactly 22 feet ahead of her nearest rival.

The one event Jump didn’t win Friday was the discus, but she set a PR anyway, claiming fourth place (out of 11 competitors) with a throw of 82-09.

Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, tallied 26 points for the Cardinals, who finished second in the team standings.

Up next is the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships May 2-3 in Cortland, New York.

You can start calling him Tate the Great.

Saturday was a standout day for Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a sophomore track and field athlete plying his trade a state away.

Competing on his home turf at the Oregon Tech Invitational in Klamath Falls, the former Wolf put in his strongest performance of the season, winning two of three events he vied in.

Wyman soared 21 feet, eight inches in the long jump, setting a PR and finishing an impressive eight inches better than anyone else in the field.

He also ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay unit which set a season best at 42.66 seconds, before finishing the day as part of a 4 x 400 squad which hit the tape in 3:38.27, earning 5th.

Coming off today’s home meet, the Hustlin’ Owls are slated to be back in action next Saturday, April 26, traveling to Salem, Oregon for the Berney Classic.
