Chase Jackson Breaks American Record with Monumental 20.95m Shot Put at Iron Wood Classic

Chase Jackson delivered a historic performance at the Iron Wood Classic in Rathdrum, launching the shot put an incredible 20.95 meters on her very first attempt — setting a new American record and achieving the best women's throw in over a decade.

The 28-year-old American shattered the previous mark in stunning fashion, recording the longest women's shot put throw since 2013, when Valerie Adams reached 20.98m. Not since 2012 has a woman thrown over 21 meters, a feat Jackson nearly matched with this explosive opener.

🥈 Final Standings:

• 🥇 Chase Jackson 🇺🇸 – 20.95m (American Record)

• 🥈 Maggie Ewen 🇺🇸 – 19.69m

• 🥉 Jaida Ross 🇺🇸 – 19.62m

Jackson’s throw places her among the all-time greats in women’s shot put and sets the tone ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic buildup.

With one thunderous throw, Chase Jackson not only made history — she reignited America’s dominance in women’s shot put.
