The Skyhawks have shown continued progress in a short window of time, competing in just their third meet of the outdoor season. One athlete who has quickly become a factor for the Skyhawks is two-sport athlete Jalynn Landversicht. In her second collegiate meet, the freshman Landvesicht broke and assumed control of the program's high jump record with a distance of 1.66m.
Ladies and gentlemen...your NEW school high jump record holder!
