A star athlete, a star student.
Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, who shone brightly for the Plattsburgh State track and field team, also excelled in the classroom.
The Cardinal freshman, who is majoring in geology, earned a slot on the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll for the State University of New York Athletic Conference.
To land the honor, a student/athlete needed to compile a 3.3 or higher cumulative grade point average.
When she wasn’t hitting the books, Jump was busy flinging implements of all sizes and shapes.
The former Wolf competed in the hammer, javelin, shot put, and weight throw while competing in both indoor and outdoor seasons.
Jump won three times, while racking up 10 top-five finishes during her first season of collegiate athletics.
