She lives to hurl things.
Coupeville High School grad Taygin Jump is in her third season competing in the world of collegiate track and field for Plattsburgh State, and she hasn’t lost any of her desire to throw stuff far, far away.
Friday afternoon, the Cardinal junior was in Canton, New York for the St. Lawrence Open, where she competed in the weight throw and shot put.
In the first of those two events Jump tossed her implement 44 feet, nine inches — tying her PR — to finish 4th in a field of 20 competitors.
That allowed her to score five points for Plattsburgh.
Jump also notched 14th place in a 23-woman shot put rumble, launching the orb 26-03.
Next up for the former Wolf and her current teammates is the SUNYAC Indoor Championships in Brockport, New York Feb. 27-28.
After playing volleyball and competing in track during her CHS days, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis has been pursuing college studies in Environmental Planning & Management while making numerous academic honor rolls.
