AUSTIN, Texas – Mississippi State graduate Tony Jones concluded the 2023 outdoor season for the Marron and White with a podium finish in the men's high jump.

Jones, a native of Pennsylvania, closed out his collegiate career on Friday in the high jump of the NCAA Outdoor National Championships. Jones reached the podium with a jump height of 2.16m (7' 1"). After passing on the first height, he connected at 2.11m and 2.16m. In total, there were 10 individuals that all finished their night a 2.16m. However, Jones needed just two total jumps to reach that height giving him the edge for the podium finish. With the top eight finish, Jones also earns First Team All-American honors.
