High Jump Results

COLUMBUS, Ohio – After a week of preparation, senior high jumper Justin Gewirtz made his NCAA championship debut Friday afternoon on the campus of Capital University. Competing against some of the top high jumpers in Division III the USTFCCCA Mideast Region Field Athlete of the Year placed tied for ninth overall with his jump of 6-06.75 feet.

Jumping his way to a national title was Ethan Miller of Central College. The junior recorded a height of 6-11.00 feet to break the high jump season record at the Capital Center.

With his participation in Friday's championship meet, Gewirtz closes out one of the most successful indoor seasons in program history. His record setting jump of 6-09.00 feet stands as the all-time indoor high jump record at both Albright and at the Middle Atlantic Conference indoor championship meet.

Gold medalist at MAC's and silver medalist at ECAC's, the senior from North Wales will now look to become the first athlete in program history to qualify and compete at both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championship meet in the same year.

The outdoor track and field season is set to begin on April 2 at the Muhlenberg College Invitational.
