Christopher High School

After pole vaulting to a personal-best 13-feet, 9-inches at last Thursday's dual meet against Salinas, senior Luis Magana had it mind to literally raise the bar. Magana set his sights on 14-feet – and he had two chances to do it during a busy weekend at the track for select members of the Gilroy High track and field team.

A hot start and solid finish proved the right formula in producing a 7-4 victory for the Christopher High lacrosse team over York on a warmer-than-usual Friday in Gilroy.

Three local outdoor prep contests slated for Friday have been postponed due to rain.
