May 29—SHIPPENSBURG — Pottsville’s Payton Kleckner captured the Schuylkill League’s second gold medal in as many days Saturday at the PIAA Track and Field Championships, leaping 5-feet, 5-inches to capture the Class 3A high jump competition.
Kleckner, a senior, finished third two years ago as a sophomore before last season’s state meet fell victim to the COVID pandemic.
