Hendrix College Athletics

Jaydan Hunt will enter her first season as the Head Coach for the Hendrix softball program and her second season as the strength and conditioning coach in 2023 after serving as Assistant Coach in the 2022 season.

Hunt stayed in Conway after wrapping up a four-year career (2018-21) as a Hendrix outfielder and pitcher. At the conclusion of her career, Hunt tied for the most wins by a pitcher and complete games in program history while also ranking second in games started and tying for fourth in appearances. She also ranked second in triples, walks and stolen base attempts, fourth in slugging percentage and on base percentage, sixth in stolen bases, eighth in batting average and ninth in home runs.

As a sophomore, Hunt was named to the NFCA All-Region second team and All-SAA first team. In 2019, she led the team in batting average (0.444), runs (42), hits (48), triples (8), home runs (7) and RBIs (36) while tallying an 0.852 slugging percentage. In 36 games, Hunt recorded 16 multi-hit performances, five games with at least three RBIs and three games with at least three hits.

Hunt excelled off the diamond as well. As a senior, she was Hendrix's nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year and was named to the SAA Academic Honor Roll all four seasons.

Hunt also starred as a thrower on Hendrix's women's track and field team. She was a three-time conference champion - twice (2018, 2019) in the discus and once (2021) in the shot put. Hunt was the 2018 SAA Newcomer of the Year and an All-SAA first team member in 2018, 2019 and 2021.

Hunt graduated from Hendrix in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts in Health Science. She is a proud Denison Yellowjacket from Denison, Texas.
