Katie Wright had a lot of fun flying through the air against the best jumpers in the state Friday.

The Washougal High School senior cleared the high jump bar set at 5 feet, 3 inches to get into the top three at the 2A state track and field championships, at Mt. Tahoma High School.

"I wanted to make a clean 5' and then go as high as I could," Wright said. "Clearing 5-3 felt so great. I was at the height I was usually jumping and going after my PR again."
