INDIANAPOLIS – If it is June in Indiana, a Smith sister from Warren Central is winning a state championship.
In 2024, Laila Smith ran to a state ****** le in the 300-meter hurdles. In 2025, Samaya Smith won state singles in tennis. And on Friday night, Kira Smith won state in the high jump.
“I’m really proud of my sisters and everything that they’ve done,” Kira said. “To be able to add to the list of state champions feels really nice.”
Or it’s nice if you don’t have to suffer as Kira’s coach does. If you’re a parent, you get it ... because her coach is her father, Steve, a hall-of-fame high jumper.
Steve Smith said he felt calm when he competed, but it’s “nerve-wracking” to coach his daughter.
