Marble Falls high jumper gives Olympic trials a shot

Marble Falls High School graduate Kason O’Riley’s summer of high jumping ended at the U.S. Olympic Trials June 27 in Eugene, Oregon.

He, along with several others, “no heighted” at 7 feet and a quarter of an inch.

“I just had a bad day,” he said. “I no heighted at 2.14 (meters), which is pretty easy to clear. I didn’t have my coach with me, and I didn’t know what I was doing wrong.”
