Taryn Farnan Wins High Jump; Bluejay Teams Qualify Four in Districts

Taryn Farnan won the High Jump at Albany, matching her best jump at 4'8" this year. She won even though she was jumping from the other side than what she was used to because of her shoulder injury. Jill Spire got her highest showing in the 100 at just the right time, finishing fourth and qualifying with a time of 14.42. The 4x200 Relay Team of Katrina Freemyer, Brianna Riley, Mikeala McCoy, and Jill Spire did not qualify, but got their best time of the year at 2:02 to finish 7th. Taryn Farnan did not qualify in the Triple Jump, but got her best time of the year and finished 6th with a leap of 29'8".

For the boys, Sage DeLong came back from an injury and finished second in the 100 behind only Eric Duncan, getting a time of 11.59 to Duncan's 11.41. Max Giesken did not qualify in the High Jump, but he placed, getting 7th with a leap of 5'4". Steve Schulte, who has been steadily improving his distance in the triple jump, nearly broke the 40 foot barrier, getting third place with a jump of 39'11, a personal best.
