The 5-foot-11 junior won the discus at New Balance Nationals this past season with a personal-best throw of 170 feet, 4 inches, which ranks No. 5 nationally among girls high school competitors in 2023. Giordano’s national title came one day after she won the New Jersey Meet of Champions with a throw 159-7. She became the third female athlete in state history to surpass both 170 feet in the discus as well as 45 feet in the shot put, with her 45-6 effort to win Group B at the Bergen County Championships, a distance that ranks among the top 40 marks in the country this season.
Giordano has maintained a 4.13 weighted GPA in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.
Giordano has volunteered locally on behalf of Big Gifts of Christmas, which provides presents and decorations to the underserved during the holiday season. She is also a member of her school’s Make-A-Wish Foundation Club, Women’s Engineer Club, Diversity Club, Black History and Culture Club and Spanish Club. She has also donated her time at youth track and field, basketball and volleyball camps.
