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.

One day, three races, three medals, two titles.

It was a busy Saturday for Coupeville High School grad Danny Conlisk, as he dominated in blazing heat at the 5th annual Kitsap Fliers Invitational.

Running at South Kitsap Stadium, the former Wolf barreled to wins in the 100 and 200, while teaming up to collect a second-place finish in the 4 x 100 relay.

He tied his PR in the 100, hitting the tape in 11.04 seconds.

Conlisk, who capped his illustrious CHS running career by claiming state titles in the 200 and 400 earlier this spring, is in his second year of running for the Fliers track club during the summer.

He has two more meets on his schedule, with a big one coming up next week.

The Conlisk family heads back to a place they’ve been more than a few times – Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma – as Danny competes July 4-7 in the USATF Region 13 Junior Olympics Championships.

He’ll be running in the 200, 400, 4 x 1 and 4 x 4 at that event, and could qualify for nationals.

Conlisk advanced to the national Junior Olympics meet in the 400 last summer.
