Taygin Jump
She’s in the inner circle.
Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a track and field star in her junior year at Plattsburgh State in New York, was inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma Monday at her university’s Student-Athlete Recognition and Awards Ceremony.
Chi Alpha Sigma is a national honor society which recognizes collegiate student-athletes who “excel academically and athletically.”
Requirements include being a varsity athlete who has lettered at a four-year college or university, being a junior or senior, maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher and receiving an endorsement from their head coach “confirming good moral character.”
Established in 1996 by Nick Mourouzis of DePauw University in Indiana, Chi Alpha Sigma has grown to include 470 chapters across the country.
Jump, who is studying Environmental Planning and Management, is a thrower for the Cardinals.
She’s coming off a strong performance at the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where she finished 5th in the javelin and set a PR in the hammer throw.
During her CHS days, Jump competed in volleyball and track and field for the Wolves.
