College track star earns Chi Alpha Sigma status

Taygin Jump

She’s in the inner circle.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a track and field star in her junior year at Plattsburgh State in New York, was inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma Monday at her university’s Student-Athlete Recognition and Awards Ceremony.

Chi Alpha Sigma is a national honor society which recognizes collegiate student-athletes who “excel academically and athletically.”

Requirements include being a varsity athlete who has lettered at a four-year college or university, being a junior or senior, maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher and receiving an endorsement from their head coach “confirming good moral character.”

Established in 1996 by Nick Mourouzis of DePauw University in Indiana, Chi Alpha Sigma has grown to include 470 chapters across the country.

Jump, who is studying Environmental Planning and Management, is a thrower for the Cardinals.

She’s coming off a strong performance at the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where she finished 5th in the javelin and set a PR in the hammer throw.

During her CHS days, Jump competed in volleyball and track and field for the Wolves.

Wyman notches new academic honor

Tate Wyman

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.

Everything continues to move.

As we say farewell to the regular season and look towards the postseason run of league, districts, and state, there are five Coupeville High School track and field stars who land in the top 10 among all 2B athletes statewide.

That’s up from four a week ago, as freshman distance runner Cyrus Sparacio moves back among the leaders in the 3200.

Meanwhile, Wolf sophomore pole vaulter Lillian Ketterling, who broke her PR by three inches, moves up a slot, while freshman shot putter Tamsin Ward slips a spot.

With the Northwest 2B/1B League meet on the schedule for this Thursday, here’s where things sit statewide through May 4:

 

GIRLS:

Shot Put — Tamsin Ward (9th) 31-07

Pole Vault — Lillian Ketterling (7th-tie) 8-06

 

BOYS:

3200 — Cyrus Sparacio (9th) 10:16.99

High Jump — Wyatt Fitch-Marron (3rd) 6-02; Davin Houston (8th-tie) 5-10

It was prime time to tune up for the postseason.

Competing Saturday at the 21-team Bellevue Christian Track and Field Invitational, a pack of Coupeville High School athletes brought the regular season to an end with a bang.

After this all eyes turn to the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships May 7 in Mount Vernon, followed by districts and state.

Saturday’s royal rumble, which went down at Sammamish High School, drew a wide range of schools from across multiple classifications, providing a stern test for the Wolves.

Bellevue Christian won the girls’ team title, with Lynden Christian and East Jefferson hot on its heels, while Sammamish carried the day in the boys’ competition, with Nooksack Valley and BC rounding out the top three.

Coupeville’s boys claimed 13th, while its girls finished 18th.

Jump shines at league championships

Taygin Jump

She’s a one-woman wrecking crew.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a junior at Plattsburgh State, scored four of her team’s five points Friday during day one of the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

The two-day event, held in Cortland, New York, brings together 13 schools to vie for oval excellence.

Jump, competing in the javelin and hammer throw, finished 5th and 10th respectively in fields of 15 and 22 competitors.

She chucked the javelin 88 feet, six inches, earning her four points for the Cardinals, while airmailing the hammer 138-08, setting a PR in the event.

The former Wolf ace, who competed in volleyball and track and field during her Cow Town days, is balancing athletic life with classroom work.

Jump, whose younger siblings Aleksia and Khanor are following in her footsteps at CHS, has been named to several All-Academic teams while studying Environmental Planning and Management.
