Mojave high jumper John Harper seeking new heights

John Harper already has the best high jump in Nevada this year, but that’s not good enough for him. The Mojave senior cleared 6-10 on March 20, and the next-best jump in the state is 6-7. Only nine athletes in the country have done better than 6-10 this year, and he has his eyes on the national best of 7-3. He’s boosted Mojave’s athletic prestige, helping the football and basketball teams to the postseason. But track is where he makes a name for himself on a national level. And it’s hard not to consider him a favorite for the Class 3A state title.
