Interesting day in High Jump at CIF State as La Canada’s Jonathan Sparks came in 21st at 6-04. Not his best mark of the season, but he is a junior and as his coach John Ford said, this year was to get rid of the butterflies.
Regardless, it was a weird day because a number of these boys have jumped over 7-00, and the winning score today was 6-08. Weird, no? Anyway, Sparks likely didn’t qualify for State finals, but there’s next year. A lot of the top cometitors this year were from the Southern Section as well
Here’s the complete standings. The fabulously-named Harrison Steed too first place and is also a junior, so hopefully we’ll see them both back next year.
