Hogg, who broke former Olympian Mike Shine’s school record on his way to the District 10 Class 2A high jump title as a freshmen, repeated as champion as a sophomore on Saturday, while Swartzbaugh earned a second place finish in the 300 hurdles to punch her ticket to states at Slippery Rock University.

Hogg, who is battling a minor injury, was the only jumper to clear 6-1, and while he didn’t go any higher than that on Saturday, he has cleared 6-5 this season, which would put him in medal contention should he do so at states.

He also finished seventh in the triple jump at 40-5.

Swartzbaugh, meanwhile finished second to Hickory’s Aniyah Anderson in the 300 hurdles with a time of 47.06. Not only did her second-place finish qualifier her for the state meet, but her time would have also, with the state qualifying standard standing at 47.64.

Amber Evans, meanwhile, was 17th in the long jump and 25th in the triple jump
