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.

She’s off to a roaring start.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, opened the outdoor track and field season Friday by flinging her javelin into the wild blue yonder.

When the implement came crashing back down to Earth at the Hamilton Outdoor Invitational in Clinton, New York, the former Wolf had a PR of 103 feet, eight inches, good for 2nd place in a 14-woman field.

Jump joined teammates Marissa LeDuc (Long Jump) and Isabella Scott (400), as well as Plattsburgh’s 4 x 100 relay squad in claiming runner-up finishes in the opener.

When she’s not chucking things at track meets, or pursuing her well-documented love of rocks, Aleksia and Khanor’s older sibling is pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology.

Plattsburgh track and field returns to action April 11 at the “RPI Friday Night Under the Lights” in Troy, New York.

Taygin Jump had herself quite a day.

Competing at the St. Lawrence Open in Canton, New York, Friday, the Coupeville grad captured a win in the weight throw, smashing her PR, while also earning a third place showing in the shot put.

The Plattsburgh State sophomore, who has been on a roll during the indoor track and field season, was on point all day.

Jump lobbed the shot put 31 feet, 2.50 inches to open things, then came back around to dominate in the weight throw.

Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister chucked her implement 44-06.75, besting her previous college high water mark of 42-6.75.

She also was an astounding four-feet-plus better than the second-place finisher, as she obliterated her eight opponents.

A volleyball and track star during her days in Coupeville, Taygin Jump is currently pursuing a degree in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology when she’s not flexing in the athletic spotlight.

Plattsburgh State returns to action next weekend, Feb. 28-Mar. 1, when it competes at the SUNYAC Indoor Championships in Brockport, New York.
