Cunnington soars over 15 feet 6 inches
finishes second in Mt. Sac Invitational
Very few athletes from our county have ever won an event at in Los Angeles at Arcadia or Mt. Sac. The competition is similiar to a state final. Cody Cunnington of Drake has now joined those few from Marin who have succeeded. His 15 foot 6 inch clearance is the second best vault in county prep history, just 1 inch from the top mark.
Cody had two good vaults at 16 feet. He is no longer is wondering if he will clear that height this season. Cody thinks he should have made it on Saturday night.
Cunnington isn't just a vaulter. He ran a strong 100 meter relay leg early in the afternoon, then enjoyed moving Drake into first place after the third leg in the 4 x 400m relay with a 51.2 time. This moves Cody well up on the Drake "all-time" list.
Oh, the time was 10:20 p.m. Or close to that. His 15 foot 6 inch clearance came a couple of hours earlier.
