Husky Weight Thrower tops among all freshman in NCAA
Jayden goes 69-6 1/4 on his third attempt, that lands him in 10th-place, agonizingly just 3/4 of an inch out of 9th and three more attempts.
— Washington Track & Field (@UWTrack) March 12, 2021
But Jayden is the top finishing freshman in the NCAA!

After two fouls on Jayden White’s opening two throws at the NCAA Indoor Championships, he finally had a legal throw, reaching a distance of 69 feet and 6.25 inches. Unfortunately for White, that distance was ¾ of an inch short of tying for ninth place, the cut off for being rewarded three more throws.
