Finally, Jaida gets coverage from hometown newspaper

It's been over three years since I first brought up Jaida's early accomplishments to the Medford Mail-Tribune. My latest effort to the start-up Rogue Valley Times was a few weeks ago when she was leading the NCAA for the women's indoor shot put. To my knowledge, this is the first mention of her UO career locally. I haven't lived here all of that time, but I have kept a fairly close eye on the local newspaper(s), but not the TV broadcasts. The story that appeared in the Times is basically a rehash of the Oregonlive story with some fill-in of her prep career and discus accomplishments for the Ducks, complete with a nice photo. She deserves the recognition. If you are interested, here's a link. There could be a paywall.
