Competing in his second indoor collegiate track and field meet Saturday, Coupeville High School grad Tate Wyman set PRs in both of his events.

The former Wolf finished fourth in the 60 hurdles, hitting the tape in 9.61 seconds, then claimed 10th in the 200 in 24.96.

Wyman, a freshman at Oregon Tech, was competing at the Eastern Oregon Last Chance Meet in La Grande.

There’s one indoor meet left on the schedule, then the Owls head outdoors starting March 16.

During his time at CHS, Tate, son of running coach Amber Wyman, competed in cross country and track and field.

The older brother of current Wolf athletic stars Ayden and Devon, he was part of a 4 x 100 relay team which finished second at the state championship meet his senior season.

One is just getting started, while the other is reaching new heights.

Coupeville High School grads Taygin Jump and Tate Wyman are both pursuing college track and field careers and already finding success.

Jump, a freshman in New York, has vied in several meets and captured her first win Wednesday afternoon.

Competing at the Plattsburgh State Track and Field Invite, she repped the home team while capturing a victory in the weight throw.

Jump tossed the implement 42 feet, 5.50 inches, besting seven other competitors and earning points for the Cardinals.

She also came back around to claim 5th in the shot put (out of 12 women), chucking it 31-08.50.

Back on the West Coast, Wyman, a freshman at Oregon Tech, made his indoor track debut this past weekend, running the 60-meter hurdles at a meet hosted by George Fox University.

Originally expecting not to compete until the outdoor season, the former Wolf had his schedule moved up and hit the tape in 10.58 seconds the first time out.

Tate’s coach decided to throw him into a couple indoor meets to see how he does,” said mom Amber Wyman.

“He knocked over a hurdle, but was happy he got to compete,” she added.

“He is making some changes after watching the video of the event and is excited to see some improvement in his next meet.”

Tate Wyman is running off to a different state.

The Coupeville High School senior signed a letter of intent Monday to compete in track and field at Oregon Tech.

He’s the third member of the current CHS oval squad to sign a college letter, with Taygin Jump (SUNY Plattsburgh) joining him at Monday’s ceremony.

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.

At Oregon Tech, Wyman will find a school founded in 1947 to train and re-educate World War II vets.

The school’s athletic teams, which compete in the Cascade Collegiate Conference, are the Owls.

Or, sometimes, when they’re moving quickly, the Hustlin’ Owls.
