The junior wrestler and team captain won the Central League Tournament with three consecutive pins at 114 pounds, finished second at the PIAA District 1 North tournament, then placed second at the PIAA Southeast Regional tournament as the No. 9 seed, defeating the top seed in the quarterfinals and the No. 4 seed in the semifinals. He won a match at the PIAA state tournament to finish 31-11 (with 16 pins) on the season. Radnor wrestling head coach Justin Schellenger said, “Jayden may have a laid-back demeanor but is fiercely competitive and laser-focused on his training. He has been the hardest worker inside our room and in the off-season. As a junior captain he led by example daily and shows immense care for his teammates while also pushing them to be their best.”
