After what Jace Posey considered a “disappointing” performance in 2021, finishing fourth in the Class 6A high jump competition at State, the Strake Jesuit junior was determined for a better showing in 2022.
Not only did her improve on his showing from a year ago but he etched his name into the record books. Posey cleared 7-feet-4.25-inches to claim the gold and the Class 6A record.
Posey broke an 18-year record once held by Cinco Ranch’s Scott Sellers by 0.25 inches.
“I really wanted to place, I wanted to get first,” Posey said. “I felt a little more confident after I cleared 6-foot-8. It boosted my confidence. The goal was to get seven. I got higher than seven, that was pretty cool.
“I just wanted to make everybody proud. I loved the energy from the people. The clapping and cheering made me feel good.”

AUSTIN - When India Alix finished third at the Regional Championships and just missed her ticket to the UIL State Track & Field Meet, that fueled the Klein High junior.
Alix came back in 2022 and qualified in the long and the triple jump for the Bearkats. On Saturday morning, Alix nailed her second-longest jump of the season at 20-feet. That leap secured a silver medal for the junior.
"I felt like I could have pushed myself a little bit more," Alix said. "But I got what I needed to to get at least a silver medal."
VYPE caught up with Alix following her silver-medal performance. Check out the interview below.
