Baton Rouge, La. – It's official. JuVaughn Harrison aka Mr. Jumps is headed to the Tokyo Olympics. Harrison won the U.S. title in the high jump on Sunday afternoon with a winning clearance of 7' 7.75" (2.33 meters).
It was an absolute scorcher on the track during the competition and temperatures were up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit towards the end of the high jump competition. The event was eerily similar to the SEC high jump competition that took place outdoors between Harrison and Tennessee's Darryl Sullivan as both men went head to head with each other.
