Taygin Jump ended the regular season with a bang.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore track and field star at Plattsburgh State, competed in three events Friday at the SLU Twilight Invite in Canton, New York, handily winning both the hammer throw and javelin toss.

Jump chucked her hammer 125 feet, five inches, finishing 21 feet, 11 inches ahead of the second-place finisher.

The former Wolf ace also claimed the title in the javelin with a heave of 95-09, this time placing exactly 22 feet ahead of her nearest rival.

The one event Jump didn’t win Friday was the discus, but she set a PR anyway, claiming fourth place (out of 11 competitors) with a throw of 82-09.

Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, tallied 26 points for the Cardinals, who finished second in the team standings.

Up next is the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships May 2-3 in Cortland, New York.

Track and field are back in focus.

With the Wolves soaring in the sunshine and zipping around the oval under spring skies, a host of photographers have been busy at work.

Every second counts. Every inch matters.

As the high school track and field season turns towards the homestretch, every week presents a shuffling of the top marks across the state.

That’s shown this time around, as Coupeville stars try and hold on to their places among the best athletes in the 2B classification.

For the moment, Lyla Stuurmans (800) and Cael Wilson (long jump), who were in the top 10 last Monday, get bumped. But they can get back in.

The Wolves host the Coupeville Classic Invite this Saturday, April 26, before beginning the postseason run through the league, district, and state meets.

The finish line nears, but the battle rages.

Where the Wolves sit among all 2B athletes statewide through April 21:

 

GIRLS:

Shot Put — Katie Marti (10th) 32-11

Pole Vault — Aleksia Jump (10th-tie) 7-00

“Way to show up and show out!”

The trek out to Forks is a fairly long one, but a worthwhile one, especially in the eyes of Coupeville High School track and field coaches.

The Wolves were up at the crack of dawn Saturday, primed for a long day, but the choice to take part in the Forks Lion Club Invitational was the right one.

“No rain, some sun, and a whole lot of speed!” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“Great racing and jumping all around, with tons of PRs and some impressive placings.”

The trip was a change from the original schedule, which had the Wolves slated to go to Cashmere today.

Joining the fracas in Forks allowed Coupeville to take more athletes than the other option, and it paid off with the CHS girls claiming a team title at the seven-team meet.

The Wolf boys finished with a solid second-place performance in the team standings, trailing only 2A powerhouse Olympic.

Along the way, Coupeville racked up nine wins and 29 PRs, with Lyla Stuurmans pulling off the double delight with victories in the 800 and 1600.

She was joined by Matthew Ward (triple jump), Aleksia Jump (3200), Carson Field (800), Olivia Hall (400), Cael Wilson (high jump), Katie Marti (discus), and the boys 4 x 100 relay unit.

After bouncing across the backroads of America, the Wolves will get to stay closer to home for their next meet, as they host the Coupeville Classic Invite next Saturday, April 26.

That will be the final regular-season event before the postseason run begins.

You can start calling him Tate the Great.

Saturday was a standout day for Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a sophomore track and field athlete plying his trade a state away.

Competing on his home turf at the Oregon Tech Invitational in Klamath Falls, the former Wolf put in his strongest performance of the season, winning two of three events he vied in.

Wyman soared 21 feet, eight inches in the long jump, setting a PR and finishing an impressive eight inches better than anyone else in the field.

He also ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay unit which set a season best at 42.66 seconds, before finishing the day as part of a 4 x 400 squad which hit the tape in 3:38.27, earning 5th.

Coming off today’s home meet, the Hustlin’ Owls are slated to be back in action next Saturday, April 26, traveling to Salem, Oregon for the Berney Classic.
