The Pawnee senior is a clear favorite to take the state title. After finishing second last year, he's literally raised the bar.
Despite coming from a school that only has a few dozen enrolled, his 6-8 personal best is tied for No. 1 among all-classifications.
He's won every high jump competition this spring, and has gone over 6-4 six times.

BONUS: How Many Events Can Faith Novess Win/Set State Records?
The DeBque senior heads to the final state meet of her high school career as the favorite in the 100 hurdles, 300 hurdles, high jump, and the long jump.
Novess already owns the state record in the 100 hurdles, though she's already run faster than her meet record this year. Additionally, her season bests in the 300 hurdles and the high jump are better than the current state meet records.
There's a strong possibility Novess can tally 40 points alone, added to the potential that teammates Railey and Jentry Largent could sweep the sprints, DeBeque could walk away with a ton of points between these three athletes.
