Johnson binds Tch's high jump -record – Tifton Gazette

Tifton – Jamari Johnson on Wednesday on Wednesday this season Tift County High has written history.

Johnson loosened the record of the Blue Devils in the high jump 6-6 and volume. He tried 6: 7, but missed three attempts, but head coach JC Clark was confident that the record would fall; Johnson met 6-8 in practice.

The high jump was a stiff competition in which Johnson competed against Ja'sShar Kinsey from Colquitt County. The field trimmed to the two at 5-10 levels. Both sailed effortlessly over 6 feet, 6-2 and 6-4. Kinsey has accused all three 6-6 attempts. Johnson cleared himself on his first attempt.

With Johnson as the last man, Clark was on a microphone to make known that he had decided a new Blue Devils record. It didn't happen on Wednesday, but he will have many more chances this year, also at Tifts Anthony Bateman Invitational on March 8.

The Mark Johnson was previously set by Azaria Smith in March 2020, Tift's last sports year 2019-20 school year before all athletics were canceled due to Covid-19.
