COLUMBUS - Anna’s Laura Gehret was successful on a pressure-packed jump, and it sent her on to the Division III state high jump championship for the second year in a row Friday.

Gehret, a senior in her fourth year in the state high jump competition, missed her first two attempts at 5-feet, 6-inches, while Emily Amburgy of Preble Shawnee, the runner-up to Gehret last year, cleared the height on her second jump.

“I was so nervous heading into my third jump on the 5-6,” said Gehret. “I knew I had to clear it or I would be out.”
