Notable highlights: An all-league volleyball player. A state champion in track and field. A scholar with challenging courses.
Jaslene Massey’s well-rounded abilities kept her busy at Aliso Niguel in the 2024-25 school year but the junior didn’t mind. She’s more than comfortable as a multi-sport athlete.
“I love it,” she said. “I love working out. I love lifting. I love every aspect of being a dual-sport athlete. The most important part to remember is balance.”
Massey struck a balance at a high level, and for her accomplishments, is The Register’s Orange County Girls Outstanding Competitor for 2024-25.
In the fall, the 5-foot-10 Massey played middle blocker in volleyball. The daughter of former UC Irvine volleyball and track standout Popi Edwards, Massey earned second-team All-South Coast League and MVP at the Bishop Diego tournament for the Wolverines (21-10).
Massey became the first county girl to win the discus at the CIF State championships since El Toro’s Hilary Fraser in 2007 by throwing 163 feet and 9 inches. She took second in the shot with a throw of 45-5 1/4 as she attempted to become only the second county girl to ever to sweep the discus and shot put at the state finals.
Massey also found time to win the long jump at the South Coast League finals with a mark of 17-5.
She extended her success to the classroom by earning a 4.6 grade-point average in the spring. Her classes included AP physics, U.S. history and language.
“Jaslene is an amazing role model,” Aliso Niguel track and field coach Patricia Lusar said. “Not only does she push herself to be the best that she can be, she inspires her teammates.”
