Shiner St. Paul junior sets high jump record, wins gold at state

Shiner Catholic School Junior Ashlyn Pesek, shown here Coaches Ryan Geiger, left, and Jake Wachsmuth, won gold at the state track meet in the high jump. 

“We are so proud of her,” Principal Neely Yackel said. She won state with 5-foot-2-inches, then broke the state record at 5-foot-4-inches. Finally, she attempted 5-foot-6-inches, which will be her mark to beat next year.

Way to go, Ashlyn! Way to do #ShinerProud.
