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.
