Taygin Jump ended the regular season with a bang.
The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore track and field star at Plattsburgh State, competed in three events Friday at the SLU Twilight Invite in Canton, New York, handily winning both the hammer throw and javelin toss.
Jump chucked her hammer 125 feet, five inches, finishing 21 feet, 11 inches ahead of the second-place finisher.
The former Wolf ace also claimed the title in the javelin with a heave of 95-09, this time placing exactly 22 feet ahead of her nearest rival.
The one event Jump didn’t win Friday was the discus, but she set a PR anyway, claiming fourth place (out of 11 competitors) with a throw of 82-09.
Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, tallied 26 points for the Cardinals, who finished second in the team standings.
Up next is the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships May 2-3 in Cortland, New York.
