Grandview’s James White sailed over 7 feet on
his final attempt and won the boys’ high jump Friday at the
Kansas Relays.
NEW HEIGHT FOR WHITE:
Another star from the Kansas City area stepped up in the
boys’ high jump.
After clearing 6-10 at a meet earlier this spring, Grandview
sophomore James White set his sights on 7 feet. Now, those
sights are on 7-2 after White cleared 7 on his third and
final attempt and won his first Relays title.“I didn’t think
I could get 7 (on such a cold and blustery day),” White
said. “I was thinking about it the whole time. I knew I was
just going to give it my all.”
