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.

Has hammer, will throw

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.

He’s like a traveling gunfighter, but with a hammer in his hand instead of an Old West pistol.

Coupeville High School sophomore Khanor Jump was back on the road Sunday, a day after competing with his classmates at a 12-team meet in Stanwood.

This time around, he was back in Lone Wolf mode, participating in the fourth edition of the season-long Hammer Meet Series hosted by the Evergreen State College in Olympia.

Jump chucked his hammer 108 feet, nine inches Sunday, earning a fourth-place finish while vying with rivals from schools such as Kamiak, Tumwater, and Aberdeen.

That’s his second-best throw of the season, and third-best of his high school career.

Following in the footsteps of older sister Taygin, who throws for Plattsburgh State in New York, Khanor’s PR in the hammer throw is 117-02.

The hammer throw is not generally part of regular season high school meets in Washington state, so throwers have to follow their own path, with a season-long series which culminates in a state championship separate from the one offered by the WIAA.

Jump finished 22nd at the hammer throw state championships as a freshman, second-best for a 9th grader.

Does he get a day off? Not likely.

Does he want a day off? Probably not likely, either.

Coupeville High School sophomore Khanor Jump is staying busy as the latest track and field season unfolds, competing both for the Wolves and as a one-man wrecking crew.

Sunday, he went down to the Evergreen State College in Olympia to fling the hammer in an event which drew competitors from multiple schools.

Jump’s top throw went 100 feet, two inches, and he has broken triple digits each time out while participating in two of the three hammer series events held this spring.

His PR in the event is 117-02.

The hammer throw is not generally part of regular season meets in Washington state, so throwers have to follow their own path, with a season-long series which culminates in a state championship separate from the one offered by the WIAA.
