A ‘surprise’ has Seneca Valley’s jumper Dakari Payne feeling confident ahead of WPIAL championships
BUTLER TWP — When Dakari Payne first leaped onto the WPIAL track and field scene, he was most known for his high-jumping ability.
Now a senior, he’s still quite good at clearing the bar with a PR.
But in just two years he’s become one of the district’s best triple-jumpers — and hopes to earn the title of the best.
“Yeah, it definitely is a big surprise to me,” Payne said Saturday at the Butler Invitational. “I wasn’t expecting to have elevated so much in triple jump to where I’m at now.”
Payne won silver at the meet in the high jump, with 6 feet, 4 inches, tying his season best. He finished fifth in the triple in 44-3.25 at Butler’s Art Bernardi Stadium. He hit 6-4 on his final high jump attempt to lock in silver, eliciting a fist pump after a clutch performance.
He’s feeling good at this stage of the season for the most part because the triple jump might be his best event now — he cracked 46-9.50 earlier this season to break the school record. His biggest disappointment is he hasn’t come close yet to his best in the high jump (PR of 6-7) and believes it could be tied to form. He also injured his thigh earlier in the week.
But the sudden growth of his triple jump gives him reason for optimism. He’s still not sure why or how it has become his better event.
Seneca Valley’s Dakari Payne places second with a jump of 6-4 in the high jump in the Butler Track and Field Invitational held Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Butler's Art Bernardi Stadium. Rob McGraw/Butler Eagle.
He’d like to win district titles in both events and perhaps finally claim an elusive PIAA Track and Field Championships medal in one or both.
The postseason begins in May. Payne is a two-time WPIAL Class 3A medalist in the high jump and the reigning champion with a 6-5 last year. He also won triple and high jump medals last year at districts.
“It’s a disappointment that my high jump is lower, but it kind of balances out because I’m happy with my triple jump performance,” Payne said.
Beyond this postseason, Payne has discovered a passion for the medical field. He is set to go to IUP in the fall, over Slippery Rock University, to major in exploratory health sciences. He hopes to become a nurse one day.
He “fell in love” with the career choice after joining Seneca Valley’s vocational technical program, in Butler, where he takes nursing classes and works in nursing homes with the elderly.
“In 10th grade, I was bored,” Payne said. “I fell in love with it. I love doing my nursing classes, all that, and it’s what I wanna do in the future.
“I just love the hands-on, communicating with people. Our program is more centered with nursing homes, working with the elderly, helping them live their life as best as they can.”
He’s not really sure why he gravitated to that — like triple jump — either. Things have a way of falling into place for Payne.
