It’s hard to hold on to glory when you’re sitting.

Thanks to Spring Break, the Coupeville High School track and field team hasn’t competed since April 1 but returns to action this coming week with a pair of meets.

Being back in the mix will give the Wolves a chance to shore up, or better yet, move up, in the battle to have the best times and distances among 2B athletes across the state.

With no action this past week, CHS dipped from five top marks to four, as freshman Cyrus Sparacio saw his best time in the 3200 get edged by an active runner, dropping him from #10 to #11.

But fresh competition looms, starting with a home meet Wednesday, and the chase begins again.

As the Wolves prep to come off of a two-week shutdown, here’s where they currently land among the best in 2B through April 13:

 

GIRLS:

Shot Put — Tamsin Ward (6th) 30-10

 

BOYS:

1600 — Cyrus Sparacio (8th) 4:46.29

High Jump — Wyatt Fitch-Marron (3rd-tie) 5-10; Davin Houston (10th-tie) 5-08

The track and field spotlight was on her Friday night.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump was back in action in Troy, New York, competing at the RPI Under the Lights Invitational hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

The Plattsburgh State junior earned 3rd place in the javelin, chucking her spear 101 feet, eight inches to beat out 21 other competitors.

Jump also set a PR in the discus, flinging it 93-07 to finish 20th out of 41 athletes. That was a solid three feet better than her previous top mark.

The former Wolf, who played volleyball and competed in track during her CHS days, is an honor roll student studying Environmental Planning and Management at Plattsburgh.

The competition is cutthroat.

Another week of track and field results are in the books, and the race to be the best in 2B continues to heat up.

Numbers that put someone in the top 10 a week ago are no longer enough to make the cut, and the roll call of names shifts once again.

With Spring Break upon them, and no meets on the schedule until April 15, Coupeville High School athletes are still among the best in their classification.

Just not as many as last week.

Here’s where the Wolves land among the best in 2B through April 6:

 

GIRLS:

Shot Put — Tamsin Ward (6th) 30-10

 

BOYS:

1600 — Cyrus Sparacio (8th) 4:46.29

3200 — Sparacio (10th) 10:47.10

High Jump — Wyatt Fitch-Marron (3rd-tie) 5-10; Davin Houston (9th-tie) 5-08

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.
