ARKANSAS, USA – Kingston College (KC) star jumper Jaydon Hibbert is now taking his talents to the University of Arkansas.

The Razorbacks this week announced that Hibbert will join its track and field programme for the 2022-23 academic year, the 17-year-old becoming the fourth addition from Jamaica – all jumpers who attended KC – this off season.

Double NCAA long jump champion Wayne Pinnock and Olympian Carey McLeod transferred to the University of Arkansas from the University of Tennessee, while Shakwon Coke signed for the Razorbacks after completing his two years at Barton Community College.

Another Jamaican jumper, Ryan Brown was already in the programme and has competed for the Razorbacks the last two seasons.

Hibbert joins the Razorbacks after, reportedly, previously committing to the University of Tennessee for the 2022-23 academic year.

He produced a personal best 16.05m to win silver for Jamaica in the triple jump at the World Athletics Championships in Kenya last year.

He won the Under-20 long jump with 7.62 metres at the Carifta Games earlier this year.
