LA CROSSE — A repeat of her sectional performance had Boyceville sophomore Haylee Rasmussen finishing in 12th place in the girls’ Division 3 state high jump competition last Thursday in La Crosse.
For the second Thursday in a row, Rasmussen cleared five feet even to finish in a five-way tie in the event during the 2021 WIAA Division 3 State Track and Field Championship held June 24 at Veterans Memorial Stadium on the UW-La Crosse campus.
Due to tie-breaking criteria based on the number of overall misses at various heights, Rasmussen placed 12th in the final standings. Freshman Izzy Bender from Fennimore won state gold with a jump of 5’ 5”.
Rasmussen was Boyceville’s only representative at this year’s state championship.
Royall won the girls’ D3 state team title with 50 points while Fennimore was the runner-up with 47. La Crosse Aquinas captured the boys’ D3 state championship after scoring 54 points with Edgar taking second with 45. Dunn-St. Croix boys’ champion Durand finished fourth with 25 points.
