Taygin Jump

Her collegiate track and field season is long done, but the honors continue to roll in for Taygin Jump.

The Coupeville grad, who recently finished her junior year at Plattsburgh State in New York, was named Wednesday to the 2025-2026 SUNYAC Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll.

The State University of New York Athletic Conference recognized student-athletes who posted a 3.30 or better cumulative grade-point average.

Among Plattsburgh sports teams, the women’s track squad had the second-most honorees of any program, male or female, edged out just by women’s soccer.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management, has been a standout thrower for the Cardinals, racking up big numbers in the javelin, hammer, shot put, discus, and weight throw during her time in the Big Apple.

During her Cow Town days, Aleksia and Kahnor’s big sis was a key player for Wolf volleyball and track teams, while also competing in club volleyball on the side.

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.
