ADEL — The sky may literally be the limit for Tift County’s Jamari Johnson. Weeks after setting the Tift County high jump record at 6-8, Johnson extended it again. At Harmon’s Invitational Saturday, Johnson cleared 6-9.

Lowndes hosted the event, which was held at Cook High because of construction at LHS.

Once again, Johnson was locked in a battle with Valdosta’s Jamir Bradley. Each of them made 6-9, but Johnson had fewer misses.

Jaxson Hughes and Anthony Pace were 2-3 in pole vault. Both got 12-6, as did Klen Flanigan of Lowndes, who won the event. Diamond Wallace was second in long jump at 17-6.
