In his one and only opportunity to go up against the best in Texas, Hays High senior long jumper Dillon Baker made sure to make the most of it.

With a personal best 23-feet, 6-inch jump, Baker secured the bronze medal at Saturday’s UIL 6A boys long jump competition held at Mike A. Myers Stadium.

“I was really fortunate to even have gotten here,” Baker said. “I wanted to come in and get a personal best and so that was my goal coming in here.”
