He’s got some zing in his fling.

Coupeville High School sophomore Khanor Jump finished 3rd in the hammer throw Saturday at a meet held at Evergreen State College in Olympia, smashing his PR by a solid seven feet.

The Wolf ace launched his implement 117 feet, two inches, thoroughly besting his top mark from his freshman campaign of 110-02.

The hammer throw is not part of the traditional lineup for Washington state high school teams during the regular season, so throwers have to find other outlets.

Jump was competing in the Hammer Meet Series Polar Bear event, part of a string of competitions which will lead up to the Washington Hammer State Championships, which are held separately from the WIAA state meet.

He finished 22nd in that finale last year, second-best showing of any freshman in the field, but obviously wants more this time around.

“Good improvement from last year, great start!” said CHS coach Bob Martin. “Pretty sweet!”

She’s shining on the big stage.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a junior at Plattsburgh State, set a PR in the weight throw Friday, earning points for the Cardinals by finishing 7th in a field of 22 competitors.

The former Wolf was competing at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Indoor Track and Field Championships in Brockport, New York.

Jump’s best throw Friday traveled 44 feet, 10.25 inches, besting her previous top mark of 44-09, set just a week ago.

A standout volleyball and track and field athlete during her Cow Town days, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sister is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management at Plattsburgh.

The Cardinals wrap the indoor season with two more postseason meets for qualifiers — the All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Conference Championships and the NCAA D-III Championships — before moving outdoors as the weather warms.

Your diamond destiny calls.

That crisp breeze wafting across the prairie signals the approach of “spring” sports, and there’s never been a better time to pick up a mitt and join the Coupeville High School baseball team.

The Wolves kick off practice this coming Monday, Mar. 2, and CHS coaches are hoping for a strong turnout.

After back-to-back trips to the state tourney, Coupeville had to scramble to field a starting nine a season ago and would love to have some depth on the bench this time around.

Which makes it a prime-time opportunity for prospective players.

In related news, Central Whidbey Little League is forming a Juniors team (ages 13-14) and also looking for a couple more players.

So, parents, time to toss the video game system, shoo your son outside and get him to the diamond, post haste.

“The Red Dragon” is already in mid-season form.

While high school softball doesn’t kick off for a week or so, Coupeville senior Teagan Calkins was busy beatin’ the heck out of opposing pitchers this weekend with her travel ball club.

Powered by their all-star catcher, Elevate NW 18U swept to a 6-0 record at the Meadowdale Opener, capturing the title in the 16/18 Gold classification.

Calkins and Co. kicked off the two-day tourney Saturday by going 3-0 in pool play, before sweeping through the championship bracket Sunday to claim top honors.

Elevate beat previously undefeated teams in the semifinals and final, proving that there can truly only be one.

Along the way, Calkins was a two-way warrior, popping up from behind the plate to throw out runners trying to advance on her, while also swinging a mighty bat.

The Central Whidbey prairie powerhouse mashed three two-run doubles Saturday, accounting for six RBI, then came back around to collect another three hits and two RBI in bracket play.
