He flings, they marvel

Every day a new PR.

It seems that way at times for Coupeville High School sophomore Khanor Jump, who capped the 2026 spring track and field season Sunday by finishing 12th at the Washington State High School Hammer Championships.

Competing at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, the Wolf ace chucked his implement 127 feet, 2.75 inches, shattering his best previous mark by a solid eight feet.

It was the second time around at the event for Jump, who claimed 22nd as a freshman.

Teeraphat Phongprasansak of Kamiak and Kimberly Beard of King’s took home titles, with 21 boys and 17 girls competing.

The hammer throw is not part of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association-sanctioned state meet, so throwers have to travel a more far-flung path in search of chucking excellence.

Jump was the complete thrower during his sophomore campaign at CHS, flinging the shot put, javelin, discus, and hammer for the Wolves.

He advanced to districts in the first three of those events, where he set PRs in both the discus and shot put.

Wolf thrower lives to fling

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.

Jump earns college athletic honor

It was an award worthy performance.

Coming off of one of her best days as a collegiate track and field star, Coupeville grad Taygin Jump was honored Tuesday by Plattsburgh State athletics, selected as a Cardinal of the Week.

She and male track athlete Thomas Clark were hailed for their work at the SLU Twilight Invite April 24 in Canton, New York.

While there, Jump won the hammer throw and finished second in both the discus and javelin.

That helped carry the Cardinals to a second-place finish in the team standings.

Jump, a junior at Plattsburgh, is pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning and Management when she’s not busy chucking things far, far away.

During her days in Cown Town, she competed in school and club volleyball, as well as track and field.

Taygin Jump, ready to take on the world.

Ice Cube would agree, it was a good day for Taygin Jump.

The Coupeville grad, now a junior track and field star at Plattsburgh State, nailed top-two finishes in all three of her throwing events Friday at the SLU Twilight Invite in Canton, New York.

The former Wolf won the hammer throw, chucking her implement 125 feet, 11 inches, while also finishing second in the discus (93-06) and javelin (92-00).

Jump’s impressive performance helped carry the Cardinals to a second-place finish in the team standings at the meet, which was hosted by St. Lawrence College.

When she’s not busy chucking things, Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister is an honor student pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning and Management.

Khanor Jump

The odyssey continues.

Coupeville High School sophomore Khanor Jump competes alongside his Wolf track and field mates during normal meets, then heads off on his own one-man missions.

Since the hammer throw is not including in most Washington state prep meets, Taygin and Aleksia’s brother has been competing in a series of events hosted by Evergreen State College.

This past Sunday, in the fifth go-round this season, Khanor finished 6th, chucking his implement 119 feet, two inches.

That is his PR in the event, smashing his previous top throw by a solid two feet.

While the hammer throw is not part of the traditional WIAA state meet, the series culminates in a championship event of its own.

Last year, Khanor finished 22nd as a freshman, the second-best performance for a 9th grader.
