Add another one to the list.

Lyla Stuurmans became the second member of the Coupeville High School Class of 2025 to sign a letter of intent to play college sports, inking her contract Friday to be a volleyball spiker at Skagit Valley College.

She joins Madison McMillan, who previously signed to play softball at Edmonds College.

Stuurmans, one of the best athletes, and best human beings, to come through Cow Town in recent years, is a standout three-sport star.

She’s the first girl in CHS history to play five seasons of varsity basketball and is a phenom in the world of track and field.

But volleyball is calling to her, and she has answered.

Stuurmans was the Northwest 2B/1B League MVP as a senior and was just tabbed as a Second-Team All-State player for her heroics.

The oldest of Scott and Sarah’s four children, Lyla racked up 200 kills, 22 solo blocks, 19 block assists, 113 digs, 30 service aces, and 16 assists during her final season in the red and black.

Coupeville (18-2) was undefeated until the final day of the season, won league and bi-district titles, and earned a program-best 4th place finish at the state tourney.

One of Coupeville’s brightest athletic stars has landed her next gig.

While Madison McMillan still has two more seasons of high school sports to finish, with basketball underway and softball beckoning in the spring, the CHS senior has signed a letter of intent to play college ball afterwards.

The power-hitting third baseman is slated to join the softball program at Edmonds College, with the Tritons making the announcement on their Instagram page.

Madison McMillan, granddaughter of Gordon McMillan and Nancy Conard, is a standout student and athlete who also happens to be a remarkable young woman in all aspects.

As part of a tight-knit group of female athletes who have played together since elementary school, she is one of the foremost faces of the CHS Class of 2025.

McMillan has had a major impact on the volleyball court, as a hoops star, and as a diamond dandy, with her playing both high school and travel ball in the latter pursuit.

She and her fellow seniors sparked the Wolf volleyball program to its best season in school history this fall.

With McMillan and company working as a unit, CHS was undefeated until the final day of the season, went 18-2, won league and bi-district titles, and captured 4th place at the 2B state tourney.

While the Wolf warrior sparkles in every one of her pursuits, softball is the sport where she has arguably had the biggest impact.

Whether drilling home runs over the fence, turning on the wheels to get an extra base in crunch time, or whipping a frozen rope across the field to nail a runner, McMillan is, as they said in O Brother, Where Art Thou, “bonafide.”

Edmonds hit a grand slam with this signing.

A class act.

Go East, young woman.

Coupeville High School senior Taygin Jump is New York-bound after graduation, and she signed a letter of intent Monday to compete in indoor and outdoor track and field at SUNY Plattsburgh.

Founded in 1889, the school is an NCAA D-III school.

Jump is the third member of this year’s CHS track team to sign with a college, with Tate Wyman headed to Oregon Tech and Mitchell Hall off to the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

The young woman who currently has the third-best hammer throw among all 2B female athletes was a two-sport star for the Wolves, also playing club and school volleyball.

In the world of track and field, Jump vied in eight different events, running sprints and distance races, carrying the baton in relays, and throwing the discus, javelin, and hammer.

At SUNY Plattsburgh she’ll be a Cardinal, and the school mascot is known as Burghy.

The school has some notable alumni, but I’ll skip past disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner to land on my personal favorite on the list — lanky actor Tim Robbins.

He’s the star of films like The Shawshank Redemption, Bull Durham, and the Coen brothers unsung masterpiece, The Hudsucker Proxy.

Jump’s teammates and friends celebrate her signing day. (Amber Wyman photo)

Before he competes as an NAIA athlete, Wyman has a few more days left as a Coupeville student, with a trip to the state championships on the agenda for this coming weekend.

He’s part of a 4 x 100 relay unit ranked #3 in the state among all 2B schools.

Wyman ran cross country all four years at CHS, and participated in track and field three seasons, with pandemic restrictions erasing spring sports his freshman year.

During his time as a Wolf, he competed in eight events, ranging from sprints to hurdles to relays to the occasional foray into the world of steeplechase.
