It has taken track and field standout Bailey Hensgens only two years to establish herself as one of the top high school combination jumpers in the state of Missouri.

The rising junior from Incarnate Word Academy is already a two-time state champion at the high school level. She now has a national championship in the high jump to add to her growing list of athletic accomplishments.

Competing for the Blues Track Club this summer, Hensgens won the gold medal in the 15-16 age division at last week’s Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympics, which were held in Humble. Texas. She won the event with a clearance of 5 feet 7 inches. Hensgens also brought home a second medal when she finished in seventh place in the long jump.

Hensgen has been a standout performer at IWA since entering the program.
