The final day of the District III Track & Field Championships wrapped up on Saturday at Shippensburg University and despite the blazing hot temperatures, athletes were still shattering meet records.

Warwick’s Katie Becker started the field events off with a bang, toppling the district record in the high jump after clearing 5-feet, 10-inches.

“I was really excited to get the record because I wasn’t even going for it today and then I was really excited because I know that looks really good for college recruiting so that’s kind of what’s kind of going through my head,” said Becker after receiving her gold medal for her jump. “I’m really grateful to my teammates, for my coaches, and for all the support I have. I couldn’t have done it without them.”

Becker’s new record is also top mark in the state this year and is tied for tenth nationally.

Katie Becker had no idea what the high jump record was when she entered her first District Three track and field championships Saturday at Shippensburg University.

However, the Warwick sophomore knows what the Class 3A girls mark is now. It’s 5 feet, 10 inches.

And it’s hers.
