Day snaps record with 5-101/4 jump
Costa Mesa High senior Sharon Day, the defending state champion in
the girls high jump, added the Los Angeles Indoor Invitational to her
list of credits Saturday, skying to a scholastic meet-record
5-foot-10 1/4 at the Sports Arena Saturday.
The previous record was 5-10 by Julie Jenkins in 1992.
Day, who has also accepted an invitation to the Indoor National
Scholastic Championships in New York City March 14, was forced to a
third effort at 5-6, 5-8 and 5-10 before getting comfortable with the
indoor surroundings and negotiating the height.
She just missed at 6-feet, according to her father, Eugene Day.
Second to Day was Stockdale High freshman Desirae Gonder, who went
5-8.
