Hoernig Takes It Higher in Pole Vault

Foothill junior Erica Hoernig won the pole vault with a county record 11 feet in a Century League girls’ track and field double dual meet Wednesday at Foothill High.

El Modena, Foothill, Canyon and Orange all competed in this meet to make up for several rained out meets.
