The list of accomplishments for Aliso Niguel senior Jaslene Massey was already staggering entering the CIF State Championships. Alongside her hardwork and blood, sweat and tears put in with the help of ThrowHeat coach Mike O’Dell.
Now, she owns arguably the most impressive mark in California girls throwing history.
Massey unleashed a massive throw of 196 feet, 4 inches in the third round of the girls discus competition Saturday, breaking the long-standing California state record of 190’3″ set by Anna Jelmini in 2009 (per calprepstrack). The throw immediately sent shockwaves through the track and field community and further cemented Massey’s place among the greatest throwers the sport has ever seen. The previous state meet record was also owned by Jelmini with a mark of 186’9″.
