Canyon Lake Sports is nearing their final competition with opposing teams as Baseball will
now enter their final week and Track and Field will be entering the Region Meet this Week-End.The ReSporter will have more Track articles as we prepare of this week’s meet.
Enough distances and times have been recorded to get an idea of how each of CL’s athletes will fare going into this week’s Region Meet.
Jordan Anderson still has the best High Jump mark and has a student that has attained that same height.
Anderson has not put a lot of time with this event in the past and now finds himself immersed in wanting to end his track career on a high note. That is certainly doable based on having the best jump in the region.
Once again, as Canyon Lake certainly proved in their District Meet, nothing is in the bag and you have to come out and bring your ‘A’ game no matter what your rank or circumstances.
Their are four athletes with a high jump of 6’4 and then a sharp drop off from that mark. IF and The ReSporter means IF, Anderson can take care of business then he will have a decent chance of advancing to State and from there can boast of going to State in competing in two different venues in his last two years.
Marisa Ellis also competed in the State Meet last year, but will certainly have her work cut out for her as her Region is certainly loaded with several ladies with high marks.
In District 25 and 26 there are two jumpers with a 39′ and almost 41′ jumps so far this season.
Being that you need to finish in the top two to advance will put Marisa in a place that will certainly need a leap that can improve her present best up to this point.
Marisa Ellis has a 37’3.75 jump and is ranked right behind those two students.
Ellis has a tough road with the High Jump also as she is tied with five other athletes with that same mark. That simply means that the one student that can reach that mark with the least amount of scratches will certainly advance.
