Track vs. Washougal

School records dropped like flies Thursday April, 23 2009 as Andrew Galloway 11 set a new standard in the high jump with a jump of 6’4 ½”, and Rachael Washington 11 leaped 34’2” in the girl’s triple jump. Both won those events respectively.

Galloway’s performance helped boost the Jacks to71-59 win over the Washougal Panthers.  Unfortunately, on the girl’s side Washington could not win the whole meet by herself, as the Jills lost a close one, 76-74.
