It was a quick business trip.

Coupeville grad Logan Martin and several Central Washington University teammates motored over to the Whitworth Indoor Track and Field Invite Friday in Spokane, took care of things, then promptly headed back to Ellensburg.

While in town, the former Wolf participated in the weight throw, setting a PR with a heave of 46 feet, 3.25 inches.

That placed Martin 11th in a field of 38 competitors.

Next up for the Wildcats is the GNAC Indoor Champions Feb. 19-20, back in Spokane.

The indoor track season wraps up shortly after that, with outdoor track taking the spotlight beginning in mid-March.

During his days at CHS, Martin was an equal opportunity superstar, competing in basketball, soccer, tennis, and track for the Wolves while making trips to state in the first and last of those sports.

Taygin Jump is in there chuckin’.

The Coupeville High School grad competed in both the shot put and weight throw Friday at the Fast Track National Invitational on Staten Island in New York.

The former Wolf, now a freshman at Plattsburgh State, claimed 41st in the former event, and 27th in the latter. Both drew 50+ competitors.

Jump launched the weight throw implement 39 feet, one inch, then came back around to send the shot-put crashing down at the 28-07 mark.

Plattsburgh State is off for a week, returning to action next Friday, Feb. 16 at the SLU Open in Canton, New York.

During her time at CHS, Jump was a volleyball standout, both in school and travel ball, while also competing in track and field.

While vying in multiple events, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis advanced to the state meet in the hammer throw.

Weekends are for throwing things really far.

Coupeville grads Taygin Jump and Logan Martin checked off another indoor track meet, while competing on different sides of the country.

Jump, a freshman at Plattsburgh State University, was busy in Utica, New York, where she competed in the weight throw at the Fast Trax Invite.

The former Wolf flung the implement 32 feet, 8.25 inches Saturday, claiming 20th in a field of 43 competitors.

Martin, a sophomore at Central Washington University, was in Spokane for the Riverfront Invitational.

He set PRs in both of his events this weekend, earning 20th (out of 36 throwers) in the weight throw Friday, chucking things 45-01.75.

After that, Martin returned to action Saturday in the shot put, finishing 30th out of 45 contestants with a throw of 41-07.

Plattsburgh hosts a home meet in New York Feb. 7, while CWU is slated to compete at the Whitworth Invitational in Spokane Feb. 9-10.
