Weiss and Jett were the only jumpers to clear 15-9. Neither made 16-3. They were given an additional attempt at that height to break the deadlock and both missed. Weiss then cleared 16-0 for the first time in his career and Jett missed.

Walnut’s Kayla Richardson finally healthy and set to go in Masters
WALNUT SPEEDSTER SET FOR MASTERS: Kayla Richardson has finally stepped into the unknown.
he Walnut High School sprinter was expected to set foot in the final CIF-Southern Section track and field meet of the year, the Masters Meet, for the past two seasons, but a hamstring always managed to get in the way.
Not this time. The junior will be making her first Masters appearance as an individual in Friday’s meet at Cerritos College in Norwalk. Richardson has qualified in the 100- and 200-meter races.
“I’m pretty excited,” she said. “I’m obviously going in confident and will try and do as well as I can and see what happens. I think the biggest part of going into it is with confidence and to not let the previous race affect my next race. You have to go into it with the right attitude and let the legs do what they can do.”
