HOUSTON – May 25, 2012 – Reese Watson, Spring High School senior, won the UIL 5A Pole Vault at the State Track and Field Meet May 12 at Mike Meyers Stadium, University of Texas, Austin. This was the second consecutive year for Watson to win the UIL State Pole Vault 5A Championship. Watson is a three-time state qualifier who took third at state when he was a sophomore. His impressive statistics include a second-place win in the Nike Track Nationals in 2010 while representing Spring High School. In addition, he represented Team USA at the Youth Olympics in Singapore in 2010. Reese was recently named High School Athlete of the Week by Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine and KPRC Local 2 Sports
Rancho Bernardo High senior pole vaulters Ryan Zacchilli and Oliver Delgado made it look easy Saturday, as both glided over the state-qualifying 15-foot, 3-inch mark on their first tries at the CIF San Diego Section track and field finals at Mt. Carmel High. Zacchilli would eventually go on to be the only vaulter to clear 15-9 to claim the section title and Delgado would finish in second place with the personal-best 15-3 mark, as the one-two punch for Rancho Bernardo will have one more competition together before moving on to college.“I am excited to go to state with Ryan; and having your teammate out there makes you a lot more comfortable,” said Delgado, who will be making his first trip to the state meet which starts Friday in Clovis. “A lot of the time it helps just to watch Ryan’s vaults. I can take pieces from his vault and fix
RUSHVILLE, Illinois — Berne Union’s Jesse Oxley wasn’t going to let a little thing like a stress fracture stop him from winning the pole vault title during the Division III regional meet Wednesday at Fairfield Union.”My leg starting hurting on the outside of my fibula about four weeks ago,” he said after clearing 14-feet-0 to earn the right to compete June 1 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium at Ohio State for the state title. “When I first went to the doctor, they said it was just tendonitis. But then I went in for an MRI and they said it was a stress fracture. So I’ve been trying to stay off it as much as possible and just jump when I have to.”He had to jump Wednesday, however, without doing much running since his injury.
