Winner in the throwing pit, winner in the classroom.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore track and field star at Plattsburgh State in New York, received another honor Tuesday.

She was one of five Cardinals named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Track and Field Team.

She joins Plattsburgh teammates Grace Yarkosky, Charles Cypress, Faris Webber, and Isaiah Martens-Collins.

To be eligible for the team, an athlete needed a 3.50 or higher grade point average, while also placing in the top 50 in their region in at least one event.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, finished her sophomore season ranked in the top 18 in her region in both the javelin and weight throw.

The former Wolf ace topped things off with a sixth-place finish in the javelin at the league championships.

It’s been a busy week of honors for Jump, who five days ago was tabbed to the State University of New York Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll.

During her days at CHS, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis played school and club volleyball, as well as performing for the Wolf track team.

A star athlete, a star student.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, who shone brightly for the Plattsburgh State track and field team, also excelled in the classroom.

The Cardinal freshman, who is majoring in geology, earned a slot on the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll for the State University of New York Athletic Conference.

To land the honor, a student/athlete needed to compile a 3.3 or higher cumulative grade point average.

When she wasn’t hitting the books, Jump was busy flinging implements of all sizes and shapes.

The former Wolf competed in the hammer, javelin, shot put, and weight throw while competing in both indoor and outdoor seasons.

Jump won three times, while racking up 10 top-five finishes during her first season of collegiate athletics.

One final honor as he hits the road.

Coupeville’s Caleb Meyer was named Wednesday to the All-Academic team by the Northwest Athletic Conference.

The former Wolf, now a Skagit Valley College grad as well, compiled a 3.55 GPA while playing basketball for the Cardinals.

To be eligible for the list, an athlete needed to be a sophomore, have a minimum of 36 credits earned and notch at least a 3.25, which Meyer easily cruised past.

After finishing his run in Coupeville, where he was a key member on Wolf basketball and track teams, the heir to the Videoville legacy suited up for two seasons of hardwood action at SVC.

The Cardinals went 26-6 during Meyer’s sophomore season and finished 43-18 during his time on campus.

Check out the big brain on Lucy Sandahl.

The Coupeville grad is capping her run as a senior coxswain with the Seattle Pacific University crew program, but still has time to hit the books.

Sandahl was one of 14 Falcons named Wednesday to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference All-Academic team.

Currently pulling a 3.21 GPA in Physiology, she’s the only one on her squad to be a three-time All-Academic team honoree.

Since freshmen are not eligible for the team, that means Sandahl made it every season she was able to.

“We are so proud to have 14 individuals make the GNAC All-Academic team,” SPU coach Caitlin McClain said in a statement.

“Our seniors and juniors with multiple years of recognition show how the sport and the people produce excellence on the water and in the classroom.”

Sandahl and the Falcons will be back on the water this weekend, competing at the GNAC Championships Saturday in Gold River, California.

Joey Lippo’s classroom game remains strong.

The Coupeville High School grad, now a two-sport athlete at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, was one of 505 students named to the North Atlantic Conference Fall All-Academic team.

Lippo, a senior who will play his final season of baseball for the Owls this spring, was hailed for his work during golf season.

The NAC has 14 schools, and the athletes honored covered “87 unique teams across eight sports.”

To be eligible, a student/athlete needed to achieve a GPA between 3.5 and 4.0.

During his days in Coupeville, Lippo played tennis, basketball, and baseball for the Wolves.
