He was a point-scoring machine.

Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a junior at Oregon Tech, helped the Hustlin’ Owls rack up positive numbers in La Grande at the two-day Cascade Collegiate Conference Track and Field Championships.

The former Wolf opened with a busy Friday, finishing 7th in the 110 hurdles, where he nailed a PR of 15.45 seconds, and 10th in the long jump, sailing 22 feet, 00.25 inches.

Wyman also ran a leg on a 4 x 100 relay team which picked up points with a 7th place performance, hitting the tape in 42.74 seconds.

After a brief bit of rest, Ayden and Devon’s big bro returned to action in the triple jump Saturday, garnering another PR by launching his body 41 feet, six inches for a 17th place performance.

When he’s not in action with the track squad, the eldest of the Wyman siblings is an honors student studying embedded systems engineering technology at Oregon Tech.

His balance between classwork and oval achievement remains impeccable.

Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a junior track and field star at Oregon Tech, was one of 41 Owls across six sports honored April 30 as a 2026 NAIA Scholar-Athlete.

This is the second time the former Wolf, who is studying embedded systems engineering technology, has been tabbed for the achievement, after he also received it as a sophomore — the first year a student/athlete is eligible.

To earn the honor, you have to maintain a 3.50 GPA or higher.

Wyman was one of eight male track and field athletes to qualify, with Oregon Tech students from softball, baseball, women’s track and field, and men’s and women’s golf also honored.

Earlier in April, Ayden and Devon’s older brother was also named to the U.S. Bank Academic All-Cascade Collegiate Conference team, which requires a 3.2 GPA.

Putting books aside for a moment or two, Tate will compete in the league championship meet May 8-9 in La Grande, Oregon.

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.

New season, new accomplishments.

Coupeville grads Taygin Jump and Tate Wyman moved outdoors Saturday, kicking off the second half of their collegiate track and field seasons, with both finding immediate success.

No longer tucked away from the weather as they were during the indoor part of the campaign, the former Wolves lit up the joint on opposite coasts.

Wyman, a junior at Oregon Tech, competed in the Linfield Jenn Boyman Memorial Invitational in McMinnville, hitting the tape in three events.

He finished 5th in the 110 hurdles in 15.85 seconds, sailed to a 6th place finish in the long jump (22 feet, 03.75 inches), and was part of a 4 x 100 relay unit which claimed 7th in 42.93 seconds.

Wyman’s former CHS teammate had an even more impressive day while vying at the Saints Ice Breaker in Canton, New York.

Jump, a junior at Plattsburgh State, spent her time chucking things, claiming a title in the hammer throw with a PR of 131-04, which was almost 15 feet better than her closest competitor.

She also earned 3rd place finishes in the discus (90-07) and javelin (91-09), with the first of those heaves also being a PR.

Overall, Jump scored 21 points for Plattsburgh, helping the Cardinals to a second place showing in the team standings.

When the Wolf alums aren’t busy in the arena, both are honor students, with Jump studying environmental planning and management, while Wyman pursues a degree in embedded systems engineering technology.
