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.

During her CHS days, Taygin, the oldest of Phil and Christina’s three children, played club and school volleyball, while also competing in track and field.

Let the ribbons rain down.

It’s a new year, but the same great results for Gabriella Gebhard and her main pooch.

The Coupeville High School junior continues to dominate the world of American Kennel Club dog showing, working with her English Setter Walker (Set’r Ridge’s Legend in the Making).

Beating a field of 72 juniors at one event, Gebhard claimed Reserve Best, then followed that up by claiming the largest ribbon of the event by winning the Best of the Best competition.

Traveling from city to city, and state to state, the duo added to their wins with a particularly strong showing at an event in Portland.

In her time in the dog showing world, Gebhard has been on a roll, qualifying for and competing at the Royal Canin AKC nationals and the vaunted Westminster Dog Show.

“Why yes, I am a good doggo.”

Babies, cheerleaders, and hoops fans.

All united by the ability to generate great noise and passion, a love of Wolf basketball, and a willingness to let wandering photographers snap their pics.

Oh, and they also all bring in tons o’ page hits, so they’re basically gold, Jerry, gold.

The man is an institution now.

Coupeville grad Jon Crimmins, a terror on the tennis court and baseball diamond back in his younger days, was honored Thursday by the Washington State Parks Commission for giving a quarter century (and counting) to the woodsy life.

The former Wolf has risen from a park ranger to his current position as Operations Director for the parks system, all while maintaining his quiet charm.

Followed from job to job (haunted?) by the painting seen in the photo above, Crimmins is also an avid runner and blogger.

A good man and a very good doggo.

Joey Lippo’s classroom game remains strong.

The Coupeville High School grad, now a two-sport athlete at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, was one of 505 students named to the North Atlantic Conference Fall All-Academic team.

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.

During his days in Coupeville, Lippo played tennis, basketball, and baseball for the Wolves.
