Varsity
"The Flight Academy" Robert Achempong jumped well today. For the past 4 meets Rob has averaged of 40 feet 4 inches. Today he jumped 40'4", well in the law of averages. Joseph Cruz vaulted 12 feet, but had problems at 12'6" ( a step issue). Hopefully next time he'll clear 12'6". Ariel Pastoriza showed up late and nearly cleared 10'6 on the first try, but with no warm ups or steps it just became too difficult.
