Blayke Phillips Sets High Jump Record
Blayke was not satisfied last week breaking the Howell 7th grade record of 5'4" with a jump of 5'6" in Cuero. So, he resumed his pursuit of putting the record out of touch for everyone when he arrived in Port Lavaca for a District warm-up meet. With a crowd gathering around the high jump pit to see what all the fuss was about, Blayke stood alone after all others have dropped out. The crowd reached at least 100 to watch Blayke go after his own record. He did not disappoint them. After matching his record jump of 5'6", he was now poised to "raise the bar". We raised the bar to 5'8" to see what can happen. On his first two attempts, he could not get over the bar. When he could of given up and walked away happy, he chose not to. Blayke sized up the jump and nailed it on his last attempt. The crowd went wild. He jumped 5'8". That is taller than a great majority of students, and a few teachers.
Please congratulate Blayke when you see him. He has been working hard and all his hard work is paying off. We end our track season on March 25th and 26th. He is working for a jump of 5'10".
