At state, Sydney was able to out-do her sister in the triple jump competition.
Sydney finished in fourth place with a distance of 34-06.50, and Afton finished fifth with jumps totaling 34-03.00.
Afton Brander cleared a height of 4-10.00 in the Class B high jump to capture sixth place. In the long jump, Afton finished in seventh with a distance of 16-02.50 and Sydney finished in eleventh place with a distance of 15-06.50.
The Mission Bulldogs team has progressed signficantly in the last two seasons under coach Tyler Murray.
