He’s got some zing in his fling.
Coupeville High School sophomore Khanor Jump finished 3rd in the hammer throw Saturday at a meet held at Evergreen State College in Olympia, smashing his PR by a solid seven feet.
The Wolf ace launched his implement 117 feet, two inches, thoroughly besting his top mark from his freshman campaign of 110-02.
The hammer throw is not part of the traditional lineup for Washington state high school teams during the regular season, so throwers have to find other outlets.
Jump was competing in the Hammer Meet Series Polar Bear event, part of a string of competitions which will lead up to the Washington Hammer State Championships, which are held separately from the WIAA state meet.
He finished 22nd in that finale last year, second-best showing of any freshman in the field, but obviously wants more this time around.
“Good improvement from last year, great start!” said CHS coach Bob Martin. “Pretty sweet!”
