She’s off to a roaring start.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, opened the outdoor track and field season Friday by flinging her javelin into the wild blue yonder.

When the implement came crashing back down to Earth at the Hamilton Outdoor Invitational in Clinton, New York, the former Wolf had a PR of 103 feet, eight inches, good for 2nd place in a 14-woman field.

Jump joined teammates Marissa LeDuc (Long Jump) and Isabella Scott (400), as well as Plattsburgh’s 4 x 100 relay squad in claiming runner-up finishes in the opener.

When she’s not chucking things at track meets, or pursuing her well-documented love of rocks, Aleksia and Khanor’s older sibling is pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology.

Plattsburgh track and field returns to action April 11 at the “RPI Friday Night Under the Lights” in Troy, New York.

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.

Have a track meet? Taygin Jump will be there.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State in New York, continues to wind her way through the indoor track and field season on the East Coast.

Her college PR is 42-6.75.

Plattsburgh’s next meet is set for Friday, Feb. 21 in Canton, when the Cardinals will join the festivities at the SLU Open hosted by St. Lawrence University.

When she’s not busy throwing things, Jump, who competed in track and volleyball during her CHS days, is also pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology.

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.
