Maize High School’s Alan Hanna broke the Class 6A and overall state-meet high jump record at the 2025 6A Tournament.

Hanna first jumped 7-0 and then easily jumped his personal best 7-2.

Which set the stage for the 7 feet, 3.5 inch jump to close off his career.

The previous 6A and state-meet best had been a leap of 7-3.25 by Garden City’s Jason Archibald in 1995.

Hanna previously cleared 7-0 last season at the state tournament.

In his first attempt at 7 feet, 3.5 inches, he narrowly missed, but then cleared it on his next attempt.

The only other jumper ever to clear higher than Hanna was Brad Speer from Wichita East, who jumped 7-4.5 in 1984.

Next season, Hanna will be jumping at Kansas State, where he is well on his way to being a star for the Wildcats.
