RENO, Nev. - Oconee County senior Jordan Scott lept to the top of the competition Saturday at the USA Track and Field's National Pole Vault Summit at the Reno Hilton.
Competing in the highest high school division, Scott recorded a vault of 16 feet, 6 inches to defeat his top rival, Scott Roth of Granite Bay, Calif., who also recorded a leap of 16-6 but had more misses.
Saturday's victory was Scott's second indoor title of the year.
On Jan. 4 he had a vault of 16-4 to win the LSU High School Invitational in Baton Rouge, La. He also received the award for the Outstanding Field Event Performer at the LSU meet.
Scott, who last year signed a letter of intent with Kansas, was well off his personal record, a leap of 17-11/2 at the National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Indianapolis.
The Oconee County track team, coached by Josh Mize, began workouts for the 2006 season last week. Selected members of the team will travel to Knoxville, Tenn. on Feb. 10 for the Volunteer Indoor Classic and the Warriors' first meet of the season is set for Feb. 28 against Athens Academy, Prince Avenue and Cedar Shoals at OCHS
