Sterling graduate Jenovia Logan recorded the 2nd-best high jump clearance in Rutgers history Saturday and the 4th-best ever by a South Jersey high school graduate at the Big Ten Championships in Indianapolis.
Logan, who had a high school PR of 5-6 ½, cleared 5-10 ¾ on her 3rd attempt, extending her PR from 5-10 from a meet at the Armory in December.
She trails only Courteney Campbell in Rutgers history. Campbell cvleared 5-11 ½ at the 2022 Rutgers Open at the Armory. Rhonda Rogombe also cleared 5-10 ¾ in a meet in Piscataway in January of 2016.
In South Jersey history, the only jumpers to go higher are Paul VI graduate Priscilla Frederick [6-3 in Toronto in 2015], Holy Cross graduate MaryBeth Labosky [6-1 ½ in Lawrence, Kans., in 1992] and Willingboro graduate Kenady Wilson [6-0 ¾ in Greensboro in 2022].
Logan cleared 5-5 ¾ on her 1st attempt, 5-7 ¾ on her 3rd, 5-9 ¾ on her 2nd and 5-10 ¾ on her 3rd. She took three shots at 6-0.
