She throws big, she studies big.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, who is heading into her senior year at Plattsburgh State in New York, was named Tuesday to the Eastern Athletic Communications Association 2025-26 Academic Honor Roll.

It’s the second time the former Wolf has received the honor, which makes her a perfect 2-for-2, as you have to be a sophomore before you can earn the status, which is given to student/athletes who maintain a 3.4 cumulative GPA or higher.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management, is a member of the Plattsburgh women’s track and field team, where she has competed in the shot put, hammer, javelin, discus, and weight throw for the Cardinals.

Before trekking off to the Big Apple, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis played school and travel volleyball, while also being a track star for CHS.

Taygin Jump

Her collegiate track and field season is long done, but the honors continue to roll in for Taygin Jump.

The Coupeville grad, who recently finished her junior year at Plattsburgh State in New York, was named Wednesday to the 2025-2026 SUNYAC Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll.

The State University of New York Athletic Conference recognized student-athletes who posted a 3.30 or better cumulative grade-point average.

Among Plattsburgh sports teams, the women’s track squad had the second-most honorees of any program, male or female, edged out just by women’s soccer.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management, has been a standout thrower for the Cardinals, racking up big numbers in the javelin, hammer, shot put, discus, and weight throw during her time in the Big Apple.

During her Cow Town days, Aleksia and Kahnor’s big sis was a key player for Wolf volleyball and track teams, while also competing in club volleyball on the side.

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.
