Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-5, 180-pound senior won the all-class title in the high jump as the Dukes took fifth at the Class B State Championships this past season. While his clearance of 7 feet, 0.25 inches was a new Class B state record, Conner’s personal-best effort came at April’s Holdrege Invitational, where he leapt 7-2.25. That mark ranked Conner No. 5 in the country among prep competitors in 2018 at the time of his selection. At June’s USATF Junior Outdoor Championships, Conner took seventh with a jump of 6-8.75. The 2018 New Balance Nationals Indoor champion with a leap of 7-1.75, Conner finished his high school career having won 22 consecutive high-school-only meets in the high jump.
