Brophy’s McHenry sets top long jump record
Phoenix Brophy Prep senior Brennen McHenry set a school record in the high jump at 7 feet to open the track and field season at Corona del Sol in the Aztec Inviational.
On Friday, he bettered his school record in the long jump, while also landing the No. 1 mark in the nation this year for a high school athlete, at Brophy's Devon Allen AMDG Invitational.
His jump was 24 feet, 41⁄2 inches. He also won the high jump at 6 feet, 8 inches.
