EUGENE, Ore. – St. John’s standout thrower Jamora Alves finished 19th in the country in the discus competition at the 2025 Outdoor Track and Field Championships at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., to earn All-American Honorable Mention recognition.
Alves recorded her best finish at the National Finals to earn her second USTFCCCA All-America Honorable Mention nod of her career after finishing 22nd in the discus event in 2023. It marks the third straight year the Johnnies have had an All-America Honorable Mention selection after Nora Haugen placed 19th in the 800-meter run last year. She becomes the first multi-time All-American since Claire Mooney in 2016.
During Saturday’s competition, Alves launched her best throw of the day in her second of three attempts heaving the disc 52.60-meters. Fresno State’s Cierra Jackson took home the national title with a toss of 65.82 meters.
Alves finishes her impressive junior campaign as the BIG EAST’s Most Outstanding Performer, an all-conference selection and a top-20 thrower in NCAA Division I.
