Taygin Jump had herself quite a day.

Competing at the St. Lawrence Open in Canton, New York, Friday, the Coupeville grad captured a win in the weight throw, smashing her PR, while also earning a third place showing in the shot put.

The Plattsburgh State sophomore, who has been on a roll during the indoor track and field season, was on point all day.

Jump lobbed the shot put 31 feet, 2.50 inches to open things, then came back around to dominate in the weight throw.

Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister chucked her implement 44-06.75, besting her previous college high water mark of 42-6.75.

She also was an astounding four-feet-plus better than the second-place finisher, as she obliterated her eight opponents.

A volleyball and track star during her days in Coupeville, Taygin Jump is currently pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology when she’s not flexing in the athletic spotlight.

Plattsburgh State returns to action next weekend, Feb. 28-Mar. 1, when it competes at the SUNYAC Indoor Championships in Brockport, New York.

Taygin Jump

Staten Island is home to more than just a ferry owned by Saturday Night Live stars.

Friday it was also the site of the FastTrack National Invitational, a collegiate track and field meet which drew a large group of competitors.

In the thick of things was Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, another person familiar with ferries from her time on Whidbey.

Now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, the former Wolf let loose in the weight throw and shot put.

Jump chucked the first implement an even 40 feet, while tossing the second orb a solid 27-3.50.

This is her second indoor track season as a member of Cardinal Nation, following on the heels of her volleyball and track and field exploits at CHS.

When she’s not throwing things, the oldest of Phil and Christina Jump’s three children is pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology.

He’s busting out.

Coupeville grad Logan Martin closed his first collegiate indoor track and field season Tuesday with a strong showing at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships in Spokane.

Now, after a short break, the Central Washington University sophomore returns to his natural habitat, competing in the outdoor version of his sport.

Before going outside, where he’s a hammer-flinging heavyweight, Martin competed in the weight throw and shot put at the indoor championships.

The former Wolf ace set a PR in the first of those events Monday, tossing the implement 50 feet, 5.50 inches to claim ninth place out of 14 competitors.

Martin then came back around Tuesday to earn seventh (out of 15 throwers) in the shot put, flinging the ball 44-10.25 for another PR.

Now, he’ll have a little bit of time off — from competition at least, not practice — before beginning the outdoor season Mar. 15-16 at the PLU Open in Tacoma.

His collegiate exploits continue a torrid run for Martin, who capped his high school track career by claiming 2nd place in the state championships in shot put, discus, and hammer.

Oh, and Dalton’s younger brother also played tennis, soccer, and basketball for the Wolves, helping the Coupeville boys’ basketball team to its first league title in 20+ years, and first trip to the state tourney in 34.

It’s a good day to be Taygin Jump.

The Coupeville High School grad delivered another strong performance as a collegiate track and field star Friday in Canton, New York.

Competing at the St. Lawrence Open, Jump, a freshman at Plattsburgh State, claimed a pair of top-five finishes.

She earned third place in the weight throw, launching the implement 39 feet, 9.75 inches, while also collecting fifth in the shot put with a heave of 30-10.50.

Plattsburgh held off the host team 157-137 to claim top team honors at the four-school meet.

Jump and her teammates get back at it Feb. 23-24 at the SUNYAC Indoor Championships in Brockport.

Before landing in the Big Apple, the former Wolf ace was a standout volleyball and track athlete during her days at CHS.

She played both club and school volleyball, and went to the state championships in the hammer throw.

Taygin Jump is in there chuckin’.

The Coupeville High School grad competed in both the shot put and weight throw Friday at the Fast Track National Invitational on Staten Island in New York.

The former Wolf, now a freshman at Plattsburgh State, claimed 41st in the former event, and 27th in the latter. Both drew 50+ competitors.

Jump launched the weight throw implement 39 feet, one inch, then came back around to send the shot-put crashing down at the 28-07 mark.

Plattsburgh State is off for a week, returning to action next Friday, Feb. 16 at the SLU Open in Canton, New York.

During her time at CHS, Jump was a volleyball standout, both in school and travel ball, while also competing in track and field.

While vying in multiple events, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis advanced to the state meet in the hammer throw.
