The track and field spotlight was on her Friday night.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump was back in action in Troy, New York, competing at the RPI Under the Lights Invitational hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

The Plattsburgh State junior earned 3rd place in the javelin, chucking her spear 101 feet, eight inches to beat out 21 other competitors.

Jump also set a PR in the discus, flinging it 93-07 to finish 20th out of 41 athletes. That was a solid three feet better than her previous top mark.

The former Wolf, who played volleyball and competed in track during her CHS days, is an honor roll student studying Environmental Planning and Management at Plattsburgh.

New season, new accomplishments.

Coupeville grads Taygin Jump and Tate Wyman moved outdoors Saturday, kicking off the second half of their collegiate track and field seasons, with both finding immediate success.

No longer tucked away from the weather as they were during the indoor part of the campaign, the former Wolves lit up the joint on opposite coasts.

Wyman, a junior at Oregon Tech, competed in the Linfield Jenn Boyman Memorial Invitational in McMinnville, hitting the tape in three events.

He finished 5th in the 110 hurdles in 15.85 seconds, sailed to a 6th place finish in the long jump (22 feet, 03.75 inches), and was part of a 4 x 100 relay unit which claimed 7th in 42.93 seconds.

Wyman’s former CHS teammate had an even more impressive day while vying at the Saints Ice Breaker in Canton, New York.

Jump, a junior at Plattsburgh State, spent her time chucking things, claiming a title in the hammer throw with a PR of 131-04, which was almost 15 feet better than her closest competitor.

She also earned 3rd place finishes in the discus (90-07) and javelin (91-09), with the first of those heaves also being a PR.

Overall, Jump scored 21 points for Plattsburgh, helping the Cardinals to a second place showing in the team standings.

When the Wolf alums aren’t busy in the arena, both are honor students, with Jump studying environmental planning and management, while Wyman pursues a degree in embedded systems engineering technology.

She’s shining on the big stage.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a junior at Plattsburgh State, set a PR in the weight throw Friday, earning points for the Cardinals by finishing 7th in a field of 22 competitors.

The former Wolf was competing at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Indoor Track and Field Championships in Brockport, New York.

Jump’s best throw Friday traveled 44 feet, 10.25 inches, besting her previous top mark of 44-09, set just a week ago.

A standout volleyball and track and field athlete during her Cow Town days, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sister is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management at Plattsburgh.

The Cardinals wrap the indoor season with two more postseason meets for qualifiers — the All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Conference Championships and the NCAA D-III Championships — before moving outdoors as the weather warms.

She lives to hurl things.

Coupeville High School grad Taygin Jump is in her third season competing in the world of collegiate track and field for Plattsburgh State, and she hasn’t lost any of her desire to throw stuff far, far away.

Friday afternoon, the Cardinal junior was in Canton, New York for the St. Lawrence Open, where she competed in the weight throw and shot put.

In the first of those two events Jump tossed her implement 44 feet, nine inches — tying her PR — to finish 4th in a field of 20 competitors.

That allowed her to score five points for Plattsburgh.

Jump also notched 14th place in a 23-woman shot put rumble, launching the orb 26-03.

Next up for the former Wolf and her current teammates is the SUNYAC Indoor Championships in Brockport, New York Feb. 27-28.

After playing volleyball and competing in track during her CHS days, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis has been pursuing college studies in Environmental Planning & Management while making numerous academic honor rolls.

Why wait for the weekend?

Spicing up the early part of the week, Coupeville grad Taygin Jump and her teammates hosted the Plattsburgh State Tuesday Track and Field Meet, the lone home indoor rumble for the Cardinals.

Then the former Wolf went out and was one of the brightest stars of the event.

Jump smashed her PR in the weight throw, launching her implement 44 feet, nine inches, to win the title by a solid seven inches over her nearest competitor.

Her previous best was 44-6.75, set at the SLU Open Feb. 21, 2025.

The Plattsburgh junior also claimed 8th place in the shot put Tuesday, throwing the orb 27-2.75.

When she’s not crushing it in the world of track and field, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis studies Environmental Planning and Management at the New York-based institution of higher learning.
