The high jump was nearly as strong, seniors Stirling McCulloch (Webb) and Vince Porter (Poly) both leaped 6-06.  McCulloch, whose previous best was 6-04, prevailed on the countback is now #2 SGV-15.  Porter added two more wins in the 100 & 200 and his is 11.14 100 ranks #9 SGV-15.
Flintridge junior Jack Van Scoter was the other double winner. After an illness limited season, he is rounding into shape and took easy wins in the 1600 & 3200.
And in the final notable boys performance, Poly junior Tim Krasnoperov tossed a big 144-04 PR to win the discus and ranks #3 SGV on the season.
