As if Long Beach Poly doesn’t have enough in its arsenal in the running events, sophomore Tara Richmond qualified No. 1 in the high jump at the Southern Section-Toyota Division I preliminaries with a modest leap of 5 feet 4 inches. It was matched by five others, but Richmond did it in fewer attempts. Among those at 5-4 was freshman Shanice Stewart of Carter, who also qualified in the 100 hurdles with the top time.
