Has hammer, will throw

Khanor Jump

The odyssey continues.

Coupeville High School sophomore Khanor Jump competes alongside his Wolf track and field mates during normal meets, then heads off on his own one-man missions.

Since the hammer throw is not including in most Washington state prep meets, Taygin and Aleksia’s brother has been competing in a series of events hosted by Evergreen State College.

This past Sunday, in the fifth go-round this season, Khanor finished 6th, chucking his implement 119 feet, two inches.

That is his PR in the event, smashing his previous top throw by a solid two feet.

While the hammer throw is not part of the traditional WIAA state meet, the series culminates in a championship event of its own.

Last year, Khanor finished 22nd as a freshman, the second-best performance for a 9th grader.
