DHS' Corey Bird Ranked Among State's Best High Jumpers


Dorchester High School's Corey Bird is currently in the state's top 10 rankings for the 2015 high jump competition.

The DHS senior is currently ranked tenth in Nebraska, regardless of class size, with his season and career best jump of 6-4¼.  What's more notable is that Bird is just 3/4 of an inch away from being tied for fifth place.

Here are the all-class standings for boys' high jump as of yesterday, April 22:

Meyer, Diller-Odell ... 6-9
Heitkamp, Syracuse ... 6-9
Zitterkopf, Lexington ... 6-6
Nelson, O. North ... 6-6
Searle, Waverly ... 6-5
Wagner, Seward ... 6-5
Dukes, Plattsmouth ... 6-5
Dempsey, Millard South ... 6-5
Fowler, McPherson Co. ... 6-5
Bird, Dorchester ... 6-4¼

Bird has tied the DHS boys' high jump record, matching the school's longtime best mark set by Lenny Gish in the late 1980s.
