It’s a good day to be Taygin Jump.
The Coupeville High School grad delivered another strong performance as a collegiate track and field star Friday in Canton, New York.
Competing at the St. Lawrence Open, Jump, a freshman at Plattsburgh State, claimed a pair of top-five finishes.
She earned third place in the weight throw, launching the implement 39 feet, 9.75 inches, while also collecting fifth in the shot put with a heave of 30-10.50.
Plattsburgh held off the host team 157-137 to claim top team honors at the four-school meet.
Jump and her teammates get back at it Feb. 23-24 at the SUNYAC Indoor Championships in Brockport.
Before landing in the Big Apple, the former Wolf ace was a standout volleyball and track athlete during her days at CHS.
She played both club and school volleyball, and went to the state championships in the hammer throw.
