High Jump-
2021 3A State Champion: Bynum 5'8"
2021 2A State Champion: Wirth 5'5.75"
2021 1A State Champion: Lindley Johnston 5'4.25"
Top returners: Wirth, Madeline Andelbradt (Sr., Naperville North), Rylee Lydon (Jr., Prairie Ridge), Brooke Probst (Sr., Indian Creek), Kylie Periman (Sr., New Berlin), Natalie Buratczuk (Sr., St. Charles North), Hallie Steponaitis (So., Woodstock), Molly Grohmann (Jr., Waterloo), Kaci Papin (Sr., Hillsboro), Brianna Dixon (Jr., Rantoul)
Breakdown: Seven of the top 10 overall best jumpers return including top-rated Annie Wirth. Certainly, we would like to see her and a few others get to the 5'10" range. Brooke Probst is on the verge of joining the elite class if she can be more consistent in big meets. How about Rylee Lydon? She had us all on the edge of our seats in the state championship, placing second in the 3A final by less than an inch. Talented as Lydon is in multiple track and field events, she could be the overall standout here.
