Boys

It was a Sellers market again

by Elliott Denman

Scott Sellers, the sensational Cinco Ranch High/Katy, Texas senior who soared an astronomic 7-5 ¼ as a junior at the 2005 Nike meet, had a 7-5 best coming in and figured to win easily.

That he did - soaring 7-2 ½ - before his day on the launching pit ended with three misses at 7-4 ½,

Also over 7 this year had been Ryan Fritz of Octarora High/Atlglen, Pa., but best he could do at Nike was 6-8 ¾ for fourth.

The silver went to St. Joseph's Prep/Philadelphia senior Juan Cave at 6-10 ¾, while Demarcus Stallings, Salisbury, NC junior going 6-8 /4 for the bronze, topping Fritz on fewest misses.

Erin Hannon is raising her sights.

by Elliott Denman

Erin Hannon of Bradford, Pa. won it at 5-9, best Nike winning mark since Sheena Gordon of McDowell/Erie, Pa. set the Nike meet record of 6-0 in 2002.

"It feels great, actually," said Hannon, a junior who is also a quality long and triple jumper. "It went really well. In my mind I was telling myself to make it on the first attempt because that was crucial. In my head, making on the first jump was big.

"My highest before was 5-10. I didn't get to jump that today; we went right to 5-11. I'm still struggling with 5-11, but I will get there. "

With her all-around skills, it's "the high jump, definitely," that ranks as her favorite.

She's already raising her sights.

"I didn't go to (outdoor) Nationals last year," she said, "but I plan on going to it this year. I just want to go in all laid back, play it by ear. What comes out, comes out."
