This past Saturday, BHS sophomore Jenna Young competed in the OATCCC indoor track, state championship representing the Blue and Gold.

  

Young finished second in the high jump out of the 24 girls who were competing across the state.  

She and her newest rival, who placed first, have been competing against each other since eighth grade. Even with the rivalry, finishing in second place as a sophomore is a feat that she is proud to have accomplished.

Although she did not meet her personal best, she still beat all of the competition, minus one competitor.

After finishing her indoor season, she plans on taking part in this Spring’s track season, which is right around the corner. Aside from increasing her jumps, she is looking forward to helping the newcomers on the track team and mentoring them as they grow in their own skills. 

Young stated that she wants to be a high jumper in college and continuously follows her motto for success: “Don’t sike yourself out; do what you can, and be confident in yourself.”

Congratulations, Jenna! We are excited to watch you and the rest of your BHS teammates compete this upcoming season. 

Go Canes!
