Have you wondered why kids are jumping a lot higher these days than 50 years ago? Remember when we didn’t have foam to jump in so we used the softest things we could find like sawdust, at our school! I have heard others speak of straw bales and sand! I was in the eighth grade when we got our first net bag filled with giant foam rectangles. That was a real improvement! What did YOU high jump onto?
Thank you Clayton Smith for your wonderful photography:

You can watch Aidan Maloney grow up on the front of the CYO Meet of Champions book because he has won the boys high jump nearly every year of his participation in CYO Track and Field! I would have liked to have seen Aidan take the CYO record with him as well when he moves on to High School. With a best seed height of 5’9″ and a championship height of 5’5″ he was not far from the record of 5’11 set in 2009 by Marcus Yoo.
A great kid with a lot of courage and fortitude, Aidan will be fun to watch as he moves on the High School. Thanks for some great races as well Aidan!
