ORANGE BEACH, Ala. – For 364 days Jalon Simpson (JR/Portland, Mich.) has prepared for this moment. It was nearly a year ago that Simpson stood on the second step of the podium at the NAIA Outdoor National Championships, having just missed the top step. On Thursday, May 23 Simpson stepped on the javelin runway with one goal…the top step. With a new school record throw of 70.99m (232' 10.8"), Simpson captured his first career national title.
