4:48
Meet your Class 4 long jump state champion!
4:30
Finals are underway and Jerney Jones extends his long jump lead with a jump of 22′ 2 1/4″!
3:50
His second jump was 22′ 1 1/2″ (below). He scratched on his third jump. His distance puts him #1 going into the finals. Nine finalists get three more jumps. The preliminary jumps carry over, so his 22′ 1 1/2″ is the mark to beat.
3:38
Jerney Jones’ first jump was 21′ 8 3/4″.
1:40
Haven Lander finishes in the top four. She’s out at 11’3″ with two girls still jumping.
1:24
Lander is over 11’0″ in the rain! Ties a personal best and she’s still alive.
1:08 pm
Haven Lander has gone over 10’9″ and is at least guaranteed of an all-state finish. The skies just opened up and we’re in a rain delay.
Saturday 12:46
Haven Lander has cleared 10’3″ in the class 4 pole vault. She missed once at 10’0″. The rain is on-again off-again.
