Taygin Jump

She’s a one-woman wrecking crew.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a junior at Plattsburgh State, scored four of her team’s five points Friday during day one of the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

The two-day event, held in Cortland, New York, brings together 13 schools to vie for oval excellence.

Jump, competing in the javelin and hammer throw, finished 5th and 10th respectively in fields of 15 and 22 competitors.

She chucked the javelin 88 feet, six inches, earning her four points for the Cardinals, while airmailing the hammer 138-08, setting a PR in the event.

The former Wolf ace, who competed in volleyball and track and field during her Cow Town days, is balancing athletic life with classroom work.

Jump, whose younger siblings Aleksia and Khanor are following in her footsteps at CHS, has been named to several All-Academic teams while studying Environmental Planning and Management.

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.

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.
