PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania

Despite competing with an injured ankle, Kingston College's (KC) Jaydon Hibbert still managed to outclass his rivals to win the Championship of America triple jump event at the 2022 Penn Relays at the Franklin Field Stadium today.

Hibbert, who has been having an outstanding season, had a best of 15.94 metres to win the event. Ryan John from Valley Stream North High School in New York was second with a mark of 15.05m while Brandon Hutchinson of St Augustine's College, Bahamas finished third with 14.39m.

The 17-year-old Hibbert, the World Under-20 leader this year with a mark of 16.66m, is also coming off victories at the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls' Athletics Championships and the Carifta Games earlier this month.
