Shawnee junior wins state high jump for second time in three years

» CATHOLIC CENTRAL: Junior wins two titles

Glass won the title as a freshman in 2017 by clearing 6 feet, 8 inches. He finished third last season by clearing 6-5. Then on Saturday, he won again by clearing 6-8. He said he appreciated it more as an older athlete.

“As a freshman, I was just like, ‘I beat them at their own game,’” he said. “Now I’m like, ‘Wow, it’s hard work.’”

The competition came down to him and Galion senior Jack McElligott.

“I started out high just to see how I was doing because I always have my off days sometimes,” Glass said. “I was feeling good, so I went up to 6-4. After I cleared 6-4, I skipped 6-5 because I was feeling good and my jump was good. I went to 6-6, missed it my first attempt, got it my second attempt. I went to 6-7, missed it my first attempt again and got it my second. At 6-8, I got it my second attempt again.”

Glass finished second in the 400 in 48.08 seconds after recording the best preliminary time (48.53). Conneaut’s Matt McBride won the 400 (47.91).

“I was No. 1 again. I ran a 47 at the beginning of the year. I was hoping to run a 46 today, but I guess adversity got the best of me. He passed me the last five meters. I thought I had him. I took off and saw no one beside me. Then I heard the crowd getting louder, and I’m like, ‘Someone’s on me.’”

Kenton Ridge’s Justin Peterman finished 13th in the high jump (6-0).
