Fourteen-year-old Rhodes Hall High’s Aaliyah Willary fought gallantly to finish second in the high school girls’ Championships of America high jump final after a jump-off at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America (USA).

Willary eventually lost with the bar at 1.69 metres.

Dejonae Bruce of Edwin Allen was third, while Shaniniqua Williams of Wolmer's Girls’ School ended fourth. All cleared 1. 70 metres.
