Aliso Niguel Senior Steals Arcadia Spotlight

Aliso Niguel senior Jaslene Massey left the Arcadia Invitational with two wins in the girls throws on April 11. (athletic.net, arcadiainvitational.org) Massey won the invitational shot put with a season-best 53 feet, 2 inches, then came back to win the invitational discus at 182-2. Arcadia’s invitational sections are the meet’s top high school fields, drawing national-level entries to Arcadia High School each April. (arcadiainvitational.org, athletic.net) She is a 12th-grader at Aliso Niguel High School in Aliso Viejo, and Athletic.net lists her 2026 outdoor bests at 53-2 in the shot put and 188-7 in the discus. The same profile shows she won Nike Indoor Nationals in the shot put earlier this year with a personal best of 54-2.75. (athletic.net, aol.com) Shot put is the event where athletes drive a 4-kilogram metal ball from the shoulder, while discus uses a 1-kilogram spinning throw for distance. Massey reached the top of both events in the same weekend against Arcadia’s invitational field. (worldathletics.org, arcadiainvitational.org) Arcadia is one of California’s biggest high school track meets, and the 2026 edition ran April 10-11 in Arcadia. Aliso Niguel’s school calendar listed the Arcadia Invite on April 11, placing Massey’s performance on one of the state’s busiest spring weekends. (athletic.net, eventcalendar.capousd.org) Massey’s throws also fit a larger 2026 season for Orange County athletes at Arcadia. Track & Field News and MileSplit both highlighted her among the meet’s standout field-event performers after she swept the girls invitational throws. (trackandfieldnews.com, ca.milesplit.com) For Aliso Niguel, the result added a state-caliber field-event sweep to a meet better known for elite distance races and relay records. Massey’s name now sits in the 2026 Arcadia results as the winner of both girls invitational throwing events. (athletic.net, finishedresults.com)
