Weekends are for throwing things really far.

Coupeville grads Taygin Jump and Logan Martin checked off another indoor track meet, while competing on different sides of the country.

Jump, a freshman at Plattsburgh State University, was busy in Utica, New York, where she competed in the weight throw at the Fast Trax Invite.

The former Wolf flung the implement 32 feet, 8.25 inches Saturday, claiming 20th in a field of 43 competitors.

Martin, a sophomore at Central Washington University, was in Spokane for the Riverfront Invitational.

He set PRs in both of his events this weekend, earning 20th (out of 36 throwers) in the weight throw Friday, chucking things 45-01.75.

After that, Martin returned to action Saturday in the shot put, finishing 30th out of 45 contestants with a throw of 41-07.

Plattsburgh hosts a home meet in New York Feb. 7, while CWU is slated to compete at the Whitworth Invitational in Spokane Feb. 9-10.

Best day yet.

The former Wolf, now a fab frosh at Plattsburgh State University, earned 2nd place in the women’s weight throw, tossing the implement 37 feet, four inches.

Jump also finished 7th (in a field of 13 competitors) in the shot put, hurling it 27-06 at the St. Lawrence Invitational.

Plattsburgh’s female crew was 2nd in the team standings, edged 146-143 by the hosts.

The long layoff is over.

Coupeville grads Taygin Jump and Logan Martin returned to college track and field action Saturday in different parts of the country.

Jump, a freshman at Plattsburgh State in New York, enjoyed her first meet in six weeks, competing at the Middlebury Winter Classic in Vermont.

While there the former Wolf finished 10th in the weight throw and 24th in the shot put.

Jump tossed her implement 36 feet, five inches in the former, and 25-0.50 in the latter.

With the holidays behind them, the Cardinals get busy again, with eight indoor meets between now and early March.

First up is the St. Lawrence Invitational Jan. 27 in Canton, New York.

Martin, a sophomore at Central Washington University, wasn’t originally planning on competing during the indoor track season.

But then he decided he liked heat and was talked into adding the shot put and weight throw while he waits for hammer season to arrive outdoors.

Kicking off a new season at the Lauren McCluskey Memorial Open in Moscow, Idaho, Martin claimed 16th in the weight throw (43-01) and 20th (38-09) in the shot put while appearing on ESPN+.

Central Washington returns to action Jan. 26-27 at the University of Washington Invitational.

It begins.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump made her college track and field debut Saturday in New York and claimed a top 10 finish in one of her events.

The former Wolf, now a freshman at Plattsburgh State, was competing in the SLU Saints Holiday Relays in Canton.

Competing in the weight throw (indoor track’s answer to the hammer throw), Jump launched the implement roughly 35 feet, six inches (converted from meters), finishing 10th out of 21 competitors.

She also threw the shot put 23-04.75.

Plattsburgh returns to action Dec. 8-9 with an appearance at the Utica Holiday Classic.

During her time at Coupeville High School, Jump was a member of two varsity teams, playing volleyball and participating in track and field.

As a spiker, she earned a spot on both club and school teams, and was a fireball, one of her teammate’s biggest supporters.

When spring rolled around, Jump threw the discus, javelin, and hammer, as well as running the 100, 200, 800, 1600, and 4 x 100 relay.

She competed in the state championships in hammer, setting a PR in the event.

Further and further away, the implement flies.

Despite adding the hammer throw to her repertoire late in her senior year, Coupeville track star Taygin Jump has shown amazing progression.

The first time the Wolf thrower let fly in a competition, back on April 28, she chucked it 56 feet, eight inches.

Move forward a month, and Jump launched the hammer 88-02 Sunday at the 23rd Washington State High School Hammer Championships at Evergreen State College.

She finished 21st overall in the girl’s competition.

The event, which came on the heels of the WIAA sanctioned state and field championships in Yakima, drew throwers from 24 schools ranging from 4A-2B.

Coupeville and Adna were the smallest schools represented, with 16 schools hailing from the 4A and 3A classifications.

This is the second year in a row the Wolves sent a competitor to the hammer throw championships, with Logan Martin finishing 2nd in the boys competition last year as a senior.

Jump, who competed in the 800, 1600, discus, hammer, and javelin as a senior, recently signed a letter of intent to continue her track exploits at SUNY Plattsburgh, an NCAA D-III school.
