The great outdoors agrees with Taygin Jump.

The Coupeville grad, now a freshman at Plattsburgh State in New York, was finally let loose from the gym Saturday afternoon.

And she promptly tore up the joint.

Making her collegiate outdoor track and field debut, Jump roared to wins in the javelin and hammer throw at the Saints Ice Breaker in Canton.

That gave the fab frosh 20 points on the day, a huge help to Plattsburgh State holding off St. Lawrence 206-194 for the women’s team title.

“First rule — we win. Second rule — same as the first rule.”

Not only did Jump win both of her events, but she won by a large margin.

In the hammer throw, the former Wolf launched her implement an even 112 feet, an inch shy of two feet further than any of her nine foes.

Meanwhile, Jump won by an even bigger margin in the javelin, with her toss of 95-09 being nearly three feet further than any of the other 10 competitors could chuck it.

The Cardinals and their Cow Town killer will bask in the afterglow for a few hours, then get back at it.

Plattsburgh’s next meet arrives April 6, when it travels to Utica for the Pioneer Spring Invite.

She’s the queen of the freshmen.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump finished 14th in the weight throw while competing in a field of veterans Friday at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Championships in Brockport, New York.

The former Wolf ace, who competes for Plattsburgh State, chucked her implement 41 feet, 3.75 inches, the best throw of any frosh in the competition.

Sophomore Lauren Jaklitsch of SUNY Geneseo won top honors, with three seniors, three juniors, and six sophomores filling out the rest of the top 13 spots.

Jump, who was a standout volleyball and track athlete during her time at CHS, has had a stellar collegiate debut.

Competing in both the shotput and weight throw, she’s racked up five top-five finishes, with a win in the weight throw at a home meet in early February.

Plattsburgh State wraps up the indoor track and field season with an appearance at the All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Conference Championships Mar. 1-2 in Rochester.

After that Jump and the rest of the Cardinals head outdoors for spring action.

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.

One is just getting started, while the other is reaching new heights.

Coupeville High School grads Taygin Jump and Tate Wyman are both pursuing college track and field careers and already finding success.

Jump, a freshman in New York, has vied in several meets and captured her first win Wednesday afternoon.

Competing at the Plattsburgh State Track and Field Invite, she repped the home team while capturing a victory in the weight throw.

Jump tossed the implement 42 feet, 5.50 inches, besting seven other competitors and earning points for the Cardinals.

She also came back around to claim 5th in the shot put (out of 12 women), chucking it 31-08.50.

Back on the West Coast, Wyman, a freshman at Oregon Tech, made his indoor track debut this past weekend, running the 60-meter hurdles at a meet hosted by George Fox University.

Originally expecting not to compete until the outdoor season, the former Wolf had his schedule moved up and hit the tape in 10.58 seconds the first time out.

Tate’s coach decided to throw him into a couple indoor meets to see how he does,” said mom Amber Wyman.

“He knocked over a hurdle, but was happy he got to compete,” she added.

“He is making some changes after watching the video of the event and is excited to see some improvement in his next meet.”
