Rynearson, from Mission Bay is from long time pole faulting family from the east country in San Diego. Vaulted at Valhalla High School.
Nice to see the tradition continue.
Thanks again Rick for all the hard work in reporting high school track.
Apples don’t fall far from the tree. Thank you for the note.
