CHARLESTON — Freddy Hassan came into Saturday’s IHSA Boys Track and Field State Championship thinking that he wasn’t going to finish with All-State honors in the Class 3A high jump again.

The Kaneland senior, who had All-State finishes in each of the last two seasons, was on the verge of making his worst thoughts a reality after missing his first two jump at 1.99 meters.
