Brandon Harris sat out Kent-Meridian\u2019s final dual meet of the season to rest some aches and pains.<\/p>\n
The rest apparently did Harris some good.<\/p>\n
The Kent-Meridian junior uncorked the best mark in the long jump (22-08.25) and the second best mark in the triple jump (45-08.50) during last week\u2019s meet.<\/p>\n
Harris was one-and-done in the long jump as well, earning a district berth with his first attempt before taking a seat.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe only took one jump, that\u2019s it,\u201d said Kent-Meridian coach Ernie Ammons. \u201cHe has been beat up a little bit. He hit the board right on the button. All he wanted to do was qualify for district, and he got it right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Harris owned the long jump, several Royals dominated the pole vault, especially senior Thomas Reinhart.<\/p>\n
Reinhart tied teammate Keenan Komoto and Thomas Jefferson\u2019s Matt Barner with the top mark of the meet, reaching 13-feet even. Reinhart was awarded the top spot after hitting the mark on his first attempt.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe made all the right heights at the right time,\u201d Ammons said. \u201cHe had a couple really good days in practice. I think it finally all clicked with Thomas.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 13-foot mark is a personal best for Reinhart.<\/p>\n
Kent-Meridian\u2019s Nick Lemmon also found himself right in the mix, clearing 12-6 to earn a district berth. Reinhart, Komoto and Lemmon made up three of the top four marks in the event.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, pole vaulter Kelsey Bueno continued her ascension, winning the event with a 12-foot performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
