The high jump boasts a pair of former champions among the qualifiers.
VanZeeland of Kaukauna won the high jump championship in 2019 while junior Kyla Saleh of Waunakee won the title last year.
A late season injury a year ago kept her out of the 2021 state meet, and COVID canceled the 2020 meet.
VanZeeland is one of four qualifiers possessing the best sectional performance at 5-4.
Saleh is one of eight jumpers with the ninth-best qualifying mark at 5-2.
