Hibbert holds the world U20 outdoor and indoor records in the triple jump and the Jamaican senior record at the latter. [3]
On 14 December 2023, Hibbert would go on to win the prestigious Bowerman award - collegiate track and field's version the Heisman.[ citation needed]
Jaydon Hibbert attended Kingston College in Kingston. [4] Upon graduation in 2022 he enrolled at University of Arkansas and began competing for Arkansas Razorbacks track and field team, joining compatriots Wayne Pinnock and Carey McLeod, amongst others. [5] [6]
Hibbert made his international debut at age 16, in July 2021, at the NACAC Under-18 Championships in Athletics held in San José, Costa Rica, where he won the triple jump competition and placed second in the long jump. [2] The following month, competing against athletes up to three years his senior, he took the silver medal for the triple jump at the World U20 Championships in Nairobi, Kenya with a leap of 16.05 m. [2]
In April 2022, Hibbert won both the long jump and the triple jump titles at the 2022 CARIFTA Games in Kingston. [7] [8] In June that year, he won the senior triple jump title at the Jamaican Championships held also in Kingston. [9] In August, he broke the championship record with his first jump in the final of the World U20 Championships in Cali, Colombia. Measured at 17.27 m it was a personal best by 61 cm and placed him second on the U18 all-time list. In fact, his second jump of 16.82 m would also have been enough to win the competition. [10] [11] [12]
In March 2023, Hibbert set an outright world U20 triple jump record, jumping 17.54 m to take the title at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He beat the outdoor mark of 17.50 m that had stood for 38 years and the 1986 collegiate indoor record. [13] [14] In May, the 18-year-old sailed out to 17.87 m at the SEC Championships in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to move up to 13th on the world all-time list. He improved directly the old world U20 record and even older NCAA best set back in 1982. [15]
In July 2023 Hibbert signed an NIL deal with Puma. [16]
Hibbert qualified first for the final of the triple jump with a jump of 17.70m at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest. However, he had to pull out of the event with a hamstring strain. [17]
He jumped 17.57 metres to win the Jamaica International in May 2024. [18] He bettered that with a 17.75 metres jump to win the Racers Grand Prix in Kingston, Jamaica on 1 June 2024. [19]
