It’s been a bit.

Competing for the first time in six weeks, Coupeville grad Taygin Jump got right back into the flow of things Saturday in Vermont.

Competing at the Middlebury Winter Invitational, the Plattsburgh State sophomore claimed 6th place in the weight throw and 16th in the shot put.

Jump chucked the shot put 27 feet, 05.50 inches, while lobbing the weight throw implement a sturdy 41-00.25.

The former Wolf ace, who was a big contributor for both CHS volleyball and track and field teams, is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management/Geology.

She and her Cardinal teammates are back in action next Saturday, Jan. 25, when they compete at the St. Lawrence Invitational in Canton, New York.

She’s the queen of the freshmen.

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump finished 14th in the weight throw while competing in a field of veterans Friday at the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Championships in Brockport, New York.

The former Wolf ace, who competes for Plattsburgh State, chucked her implement 41 feet, 3.75 inches, the best throw of any frosh in the competition.

Sophomore Lauren Jaklitsch of SUNY Geneseo won top honors, with three seniors, three juniors, and six sophomores filling out the rest of the top 13 spots.

Jump, who was a standout volleyball and track athlete during her time at CHS, has had a stellar collegiate debut.

Competing in both the shotput and weight throw, she’s racked up five top-five finishes, with a win in the weight throw at a home meet in early February.

Plattsburgh State wraps up the indoor track and field season with an appearance at the All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Conference Championships Mar. 1-2 in Rochester.

After that Jump and the rest of the Cardinals head outdoors for spring action.

All the throws, all the PR’s

He’s busting out.

Coupeville grad Logan Martin closed his first collegiate indoor track and field season Tuesday with a strong showing at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships in Spokane.

Now, after a short break, the Central Washington University sophomore returns to his natural habitat, competing in the outdoor version of his sport.

Before going outside, where he’s a hammer-flinging heavyweight, Martin competed in the weight throw and shot put at the indoor championships.

The former Wolf ace set a PR in the first of those events Monday, tossing the implement 50 feet, 5.50 inches to claim ninth place out of 14 competitors.

Martin then came back around Tuesday to earn seventh (out of 15 throwers) in the shot put, flinging the ball 44-10.25 for another PR.

Now, he’ll have a little bit of time off — from competition at least, not practice — before beginning the outdoor season Mar. 15-16 at the PLU Open in Tacoma.

His collegiate exploits continue a torrid run for Martin, who capped his high school track career by claiming 2nd place in the state championships in shot put, discus, and hammer.

Oh, and Dalton’s younger brother also played tennis, soccer, and basketball for the Wolves, helping the Coupeville boys’ basketball team to its first league title in 20+ years, and first trip to the state tourney in 34.

It’s a good day to be Taygin Jump.

The Coupeville High School grad delivered another strong performance as a collegiate track and field star Friday in Canton, New York.

Competing at the St. Lawrence Open, Jump, a freshman at Plattsburgh State, claimed a pair of top-five finishes.

She earned third place in the weight throw, launching the implement 39 feet, 9.75 inches, while also collecting fifth in the shot put with a heave of 30-10.50.

Plattsburgh held off the host team 157-137 to claim top team honors at the four-school meet.

Jump and her teammates get back at it Feb. 23-24 at the SUNYAC Indoor Championships in Brockport.

Before landing in the Big Apple, the former Wolf ace was a standout volleyball and track athlete during her days at CHS.

She played both club and school volleyball, and went to the state championships in the hammer throw.
