Jump earns college academic honors

Winner in the throwing pit, winner in the classroom.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore track and field star at Plattsburgh State in New York, received another honor Tuesday.

She was one of five Cardinals named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Track and Field Team.

She joins Plattsburgh teammates Grace Yarkosky, Charles Cypress, Faris Webber, and Isaiah Martens-Collins.

To be eligible for the team, an athlete needed a 3.50 or higher grade point average, while also placing in the top 50 in their region in at least one event.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, finished her sophomore season ranked in the top 18 in her region in both the javelin and weight throw.

The former Wolf ace topped things off with a sixth-place finish in the javelin at the league championships.

It’s been a busy week of honors for Jump, who five days ago was tabbed to the State University of New York Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll.

During her days at CHS, Aleksia and Khanor’s big sis played school and club volleyball, as well as performing for the Wolf track team.

Taygin Jump

No matter the day or time, she’s going to give you her best.

Taygin Jump’s odyssey at the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships went a bit longer than expected this weekend, but the former Wolf finished with a bang.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, started the two-day meet in Cortland, New York on Friday by finishing sixth in the javelin toss, uncorking a throw of 94 feet, two inches.

Then she and her fellow competitors started the hammer throw, only to have poor weather shut things down early.

Instead of finishing Friday, Jump and company returned to the arena at the crack of dawn Saturday, with Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister setting a PR by launching her implement 127-08.

That was three inches better than her previous collegiate high-water mark and earned the Cardinal thrower ninth place out of 20 contestants.

Jump, who played school and club volleyball and competed in track and field during her CHS days, is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management/Geology at Plattsburgh.

Taygin Jump ended the regular season with a bang.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore track and field star at Plattsburgh State, competed in three events Friday at the SLU Twilight Invite in Canton, New York, handily winning both the hammer throw and javelin toss.

Jump chucked her hammer 125 feet, five inches, finishing 21 feet, 11 inches ahead of the second-place finisher.

The former Wolf ace also claimed the title in the javelin with a heave of 95-09, this time placing exactly 22 feet ahead of her nearest rival.

The one event Jump didn’t win Friday was the discus, but she set a PR anyway, claiming fourth place (out of 11 competitors) with a throw of 82-09.

Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, tallied 26 points for the Cardinals, who finished second in the team standings.

Up next is the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships May 2-3 in Cortland, New York.

Let it fly!

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, kept busy Saturday, competing in three events at the Middlebury Invitational in Vermont.

The former Wolf topped out with a 4th place finish in the javelin, tossing her implement 93 feet, nine inches.

Jump also chucked the hammer 101-10 and smashed her PR in the discus with a throw of 77-05.

The triple-threat performance allowed her to keep a season of success rolling along, but she’s not done yet.

Plattsburgh State is slated to be in Canton, New York next Friday, April 25 for the SLU Twilight Invite hosted by St. Lawrence University.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, was a top-notch volleyball player (school and club) and track and field athlete during her days growing up in Coupeville.

Jump set a collegiate PR in the latter event, flinging her implement 127 feet, five inches, while launching the javelin a solid 95-09.

A stellar multi-sport athlete who participated in volleyball and track back in her CHS days, the former Wolf is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management/Geology.

Plattsburgh State athletes will be back in action next weekend with two meets.

The Bobbi Palma Spring Classic in Albany, New York goes down Friday, April 18, while the Middlebury Invitational is the next day in Vermont.
