Kudakwashe Chadenga was named the National Men’s Field Athlete of the Year for the 2023 NJCAA Indoor Track & Field season. Chadenga, who hails from Harare, Zimbabwe, equaled the NJCAA indoor record in the high jump with a 2.26m (7-5) clearance at the Corky Classic in January. He culminated his campaign with a national title at the 2023 NJCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Topeka, Kansas, at 2.23m (7-3¾) – just one of his five clearances at at that height or higher this winter as no other NJCAA athlete has ever had more than one in a single season.
