As if Poly Long Beach CA girls needed any extra motivation, they arrived at the Armory to find that their Armory record 4x200 relay from last year was credited to crosstown rival Wilson Long Beach on the Armory's big board of Armory records. A quick stickie fixed the problem temporarily, and then Poly went out and improved on the record head to head with Wilson.
 
      
Pole Vault: Julene Bailey 13-1  

"I really thought this was my day to break the record. But #2 all-time in high school isn't that bad. Right now. I'm pretty pleased with the meet, with a national championship under my belt. I've never had that before. I really wanted that 13-5, but outdoor is coming up soon, and I've been working on a lot of things, and I think it can happen out there. My second jump was extremely close. I just barely knicked it. Those heights are definitely within my reach. I maybe should have been on a bigger pole, and with the adreneline rushing and all the waiting, it drained me a little bit."
