Medium-spin structure of neutron rich nuclei {sup 92}Sr, {sup 94}Sr, and {sup 96}Sr have been studied in spontaneous fission of {sup 248}Cm. New spin and parity assignments done in this work differ significantly from those reported in other works. The 9{sup -} excitations, involving the {nu}(g{sub 7/2}h{sub 11/2}){sub 9{sup -}} maximum aligned configuration, were proposed in the three nuclei at 4930.2 keV, 4858.6 keV, and 3523.9 keV, respectively. Shell-model calculations, with the {sup 78}Ni core, support the proposed nature of the 9{sup -} excitations. The new data allow testing the single-particle energies in the region of {sup 78}Ni, and in particular, the position of the {nu}h{sub 11/2} orbital, which was not uniquely determined to date.
