Good to go: Anna high jumper Laura Gehret successfully defends D-III state title

By Marc Pendleton | Friday, June 5, 2009, 06:58 PM

Laura Gehret was hurting to defend her D-III state high jump crown. Almost as much as her sore left takeoff foot.

“I just thought, OK, I’m not going to get any better if I don’t take a few weeks off,” said Gehret, who broke down in midseason with a sprained leg ligament.

She regrouped for the postseason, and is better than ever, clearing 5-7 to defend her title.

The event was dominated by area jumpers. Preble Shawnee’s Emily Amburgey was second (5-6), Ansonia’s Ariel Edwards fifth (5-3) and Fort Loramie’s Megan Fullenkamp sixth (5-2).

“There’s a lot of pressure (to repeat),” said Gehret, who’ll jump for Miami next season.

“You know you’re capable, but you’ve got to do it.”
