MOUNT ANGEL, Ore.– The Sheridan High Jump duo of Randy Gibson and Jon Crawford will be heading to the State Meet together following their one-two finish in the High Jump.  Crawford finishing up Runner-Up with a 5-feet-10-inch with Gibson finishing an inch ahead of his teammate.

“Pretty good after my injury.  I think I can jump higher, I’m working on it.  Just working hard at practice.  Doing my drills and working on my jumps,” Gibson said of his performance while helping his teammate.”It’s awesome, I’ve been helping him all week because he really wanted to go to State for high Jump and he got it,” said Gibson.

“It may not be what I wanted (result wise) but at least I worked to it and overcame five-ten, I’ll take it.  I’m glad I did it.  It may not be the best, but it’s somewhere to start,” adds Crawford.  “Just got to keep getting better and get ready for State and see what I can do.  I’m going to be working with Randy at High Jump and we’re going to be helping each other with High Jump all week to get there.”

Crawford qualified for State also in the 200-meter dash while finishing fourth in the 100-meter Dash.  Crawford and Gibson were on the 4×100-meter relay team that finished third at the District Meet.  Wesley Henley won the Javelin District Title with a throw of 156-feet.
