The junior broke the school's 2-mile record on Saturday at the Shawnee Mission South Relays. His time of 9:25.59 broke a mark that stood since 1976. Acorn's 3200-meter time of 9:22.49 en route to the longer 2-mile is a MO#3 on the season.
Caelan Harland, Macon
The defending Class 3 state champion in the pole vault went to Austin, Texas to compete in the 96th Annual Texas Clyde Littlefield Relays. He jumped a career-best outdoor mark with a leap of 16 feet, 6 3/4 inches (5.05 meters) to take fourth place where he was the only Missouri competitor. The jump moved Harlan atop the Missouri 2024 performance list and ties him for 9th on the national performance list.

At the Bob Sink Invitational on Thursday in Jackson, he swept the jumping events by taking first in the high jump (6 feet, 10 inches/2.08m), the long jump (22 feet, 1/2 inch/6.71m) and the triple jump (43 feet, 1 3/4 inches/13.15m). Graham, the defending Class 5 high jump state champion, is tied for 1st on the state high jump performance list and tied for 7th on the national performance list. Graham's season best of 6.83m/22-4.75 puts him 8th on the state list. Graham's triple jump mark of nearly 43 feet 2 inches puts him 22nd on the state list.
