Leon Gillis of Steele Canyon has a 6-foot, 9-inch high jump that ties Gillis for first in California with a jumper from San Bernardino Cajon.
Gillis and other qualifiers from the three divisional meets in the San Diego Section last week will attempt to better their season bests in Saturday’s 61st San Diego Section championships at Mt. Carmel.
All-time top 10 performances in 2022:
Sage Creek’s Bryce Gilmore is third in the 3200 with a best of 8:53.23.
Lincoln’s Jalil Turner ran the 100 meters in :10.51 at the Division II meet at University City, which would have been eighth fastest except for an aiding wind that was over the 2.0 limit.
The :47.36 in the 400 meters by Helix’ Adren Parker is tied for ninth. Gillis is tied for 21st with 10 others in his event.
