Taygin Jump had herself quite a day.
Competing at the St. Lawrence Open in Canton, New York, Friday, the Coupeville grad captured a win in the weight throw, smashing her PR, while also earning a third place showing in the shot put.
The Plattsburgh State sophomore, who has been on a roll during the indoor track and field season, was on point all day.
Jump lobbed the shot put 31 feet, 2.50 inches to open things, then came back around to dominate in the weight throw.
Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister chucked her implement 44-06.75, besting her previous college high water mark of 42-6.75.
She also was an astounding four-feet-plus better than the second-place finisher, as she obliterated her eight opponents.
A volleyball and track star during her days in Coupeville, Taygin Jump is currently pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology when she’s not flexing in the athletic spotlight.
Plattsburgh State returns to action next weekend, Feb. 28-Mar. 1, when it competes at the SUNYAC Indoor Championships in Brockport, New York.
