Brent's First Cibola High School Track Meet
Friday, March 4, 2005
Brent, the anchor, brought his relay team from behind to easily win the 4 x 200 relay.
Brent was very successful at Cibola's first JV track meet. He won every event he ran/jumped in. Other high schools participating in the meet were Manzano, Valley, Sandia, and St. Pius. Brent's coach limited each athlete to three events. Brent did the high jump, the 4 x 100 relay, and the 4 x 200 relay.

Brent's teams won both relay races. It was really fun to see him back in track after a successful year in 7th grade (he won first place in the All-City High Jump event with a jump of 5'2" but was too injured to sprint!).
Brent easily beat his competition by jumping 5'7" (the closest athlete to him cleared 5'4"). They kept him going to see how high he could jump. He just barely missed at 6'1". The following series of five pictures are of him winning at 5'7". After the pictures, you'll see a link to a short movie of him actually clearing 5'10" (by the way...Brent is only 5'8" or 5'9").
Brent drew quite a crowd as he continued his jumps. Right after he cleared 5' 10" the judges yelled out to Cibola's coach: "Why isn't this kid on varsity?" To which the coach answered: "He just finished basketball and has only practiced THREE days! Plus, he's a freshman!"...LOL. Brent's coach is working on his form (which isn't the greatest yet). He told Brent he should be REALLY good when improves his form!
NOTE: The state qualifying mark for AAAAA is 6'2"; the state record is 7'0".
