All-Orange County girls track and field team, athlete of the year 2025
ALL-COUNTY GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD 2025
ATHLETE OF THE YEAR
Jaslene Massey, Aliso Niguel, Junior
If it’s true that we learn more from failure than success, then Jaslene Massey received an excellent education at the Mt. San Antonio College Relays track and field meet in April.
Massey, a junior at Aliso Niguel High, won the shot put competition. She finished last in the meet’s discus because of fouls.
“I feel like that was the turning point,” Massey said. “That’s when I realized this is the season, this is track and field and this is how it might be for however long. It gave me inspiration to never have that happen again and to learn how to be consistent.”
From there, great marks continued in the shot put and resumed in the discus, leading to championships in both events in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 finals and in the CIF-SS Masters Meet. She ended the year at the CIF State meet with a first-place finish in the discus and a second-place finish in the shot put.
Her personal record of 50 feet, 7 inches in the shot put, set this year in the Orange County Championships at Mission Viejo High, was the best mark in California this season and the fourth-best mark in the nation this season. The 50-7 mark is the second best in Orange County history.
Massey’s personal-record discus throw of 165 feet, 6 inches at the CIF-SS Masters Meet was the second-best mark in the state this season. That’s also the fourth-best mark in county history.
She finished first in the discus at the CIF State meet with a mark of 163-9. She finished second in the shot put at the state meet with a mark of 45-5¼.
Massey competes in the Nike Nationals and the USATF U20 Championships, both in Oregon, this month.
She got her sports start as a figure skater. She said all of the spinning she did in figure skating transfers well to the shot put and discus circles.
She also is adept at the long jump. She won the South Coast League finals long jump with a personal-record mark of 17 feet, 5 inches in the league meet.
