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.

Taygin Jump

She’s a one-woman wrecking crew.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a junior at Plattsburgh State, scored four of her team’s five points Friday during day one of the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

The two-day event, held in Cortland, New York, brings together 13 schools to vie for oval excellence.

Jump, competing in the javelin and hammer throw, finished 5th and 10th respectively in fields of 15 and 22 competitors.

She chucked the javelin 88 feet, six inches, earning her four points for the Cardinals, while airmailing the hammer 138-08, setting a PR in the event.

The former Wolf ace, who competed in volleyball and track and field during her Cow Town days, is balancing athletic life with classroom work.
