He keeps on chucking.
A day after competing with his Coupeville teammates at the District 1 track and field championships, Wolf sophomore Khanor Jump hit the road Sunday, vying at Hammer Meet Series 8 at the Evergreen State College in Olympia.
While there, the CHS ace finished 7th, unleashing a throw of 114 feet, four inches.
That’s his third-best distance in the event all time.
Since the hammer throw is not part of most high school meets in Washington state, the Olympia-based series offers throwers a chance to compete on a regular basis, culminating in a championship event separate from the one run by the WIAA.
Khanor, following in the footsteps of big sis Taygin, now a collegiate thrower at Plattsburgh State in New York, finished 22nd at the state hammer championships as a freshman.
He’s been busy at CHS as well, competing in the discus, shot put, and javelin this spring, earning top 10 finishes in all three events at the district meet.
