She decided to go back out her sophomore year.

“I said I don’t wanna jump, I just wanna throw. I don’t wanna run. My coach was like no, you’re getting over here and you’re jumping,” Morrow recalled with a laugh. “At first I Was like ‘oh this sucks.'”

So there Morrow was two years ago competing in the high jump. She fell in love with it from there.

“I started out at like 4-4, whatever, I was like this sucks. Then, it all came together and I was like ‘oh my God, I love this. I don’t know why I hated this.’ Ever since then, I’ve just loved jumping,” Morrow said with a smile.

That love of jumping has grown into a skill she’s honed and gotten even better at, year after year, meet after meet.

Last year, Morrow qualified for the state meet in the high jump. Two weeks ago, she set the Williamsport school record in the high jump by clearing 5 feet, 7 inches.

Even more impressive, Morrow broke the 5-7 mark on her first jump as well.

“Honestly I had jumped 5-6 1/4, the jump before, which was the school record by a quarter inch and I was like ‘oh my God, this is crazy,'” Morrow said. “We were all so excited. She put it at 5-7 and I just ran, just trusted myself, my mind went clear and it was unreal. Like it’s crazy.”

Morrow has just continued to show this year why she’s one of the area’s top high jumpers. This past weekend at the Lock Haven High School Classic, Morrow finished second in the high jump competition.

The Millionaire cleared 5-4 and took second as State College’s Josie Younkin won with a height of 5-4, beating Morrow based on misses.

Morrow does the high, long and triple jumps. On Friday, she also competed in all three.

In the long jump, Morrow as a fourth-place finisher by leaping 17-0, behind only Altoona’s Hannah Owulade (17-11 1/2), State College’s Alyssa Woskob (17-7 1/2) and Altoona’s Jill Long (17-2). In the triple jump, Morrow finished by placing fifth (35-5 1/4). The only triple jumpers ahead of her were Lydia Delsite of Lewisburg (38-1 1/4), Long (37-11 1/4), Owulade (35-11 1/2) and State College’s Saige Cunnigham (35-11 1/2).

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that while Morrow’s talented in all three, it’s the high jump which has her heart.

“I love high jumping,” Morrow said with a laugh. “The high jump’s my best event, I love it.”

This year has been a superb one for the Millionaires. Earlier this season, Isabelle Sanders broke the school record in the 1,600. Morrow broke the high jump mark two weeks ago. On Friday, Tevin Williams broke the school record in the long jump.

Even a year ago, Williamsport’s boys track team saw a relay team break a record which held since the 1980s.

“Everybody on our team works so hard. Practice ends at 5, we’re not leaving until 5:30. We all are there working so much, working overtime, and seeing everybody else do really good is so happy to see everyone else doing good. You just feel so much joy for them,” Morrow said. “I see how much work they put in. You wouldn’t see, they (fans) wouldn’t see, but I can see it and it’s so nice to see them actually get what they want when they work so hard for it.”

Breaking those records pushes and fuels the other Millionaires to do their best. The competitiveness rubs off on one another. One athlete gets a record, another wants to break one as well.

“Honestly all of us are like that in any event. ‘I wanna get the record.’ We’re all so eager to get it,” Morrow said. “The coaches are so supportive. They’re like ‘you’re going to do it.’ If you are really willing to work hard for it, they’ll stand right by your side, they’ll be with you every practice to make sure you get that.”

“It’s so contagious,” Morrow added. “If someone wants it, everyone will help them get it.”

So don’t be surprised if a few more Williamsport records are broken, including if Morrow further breaks her own high jump mark. After all, the spring season’s far from over.
