Junior Jerrick Holmes of Palmdale won the boys’ high jump at 6-4 after clearing a school record of 6-10 to win the Mt. San Antonio Colleges Relays on April 17.

Joe Gocong of Lancaster also cleared 6-4, but placed second because it took him two attempts to Holmes’ one.

Gocong passed Daniel Cobian of Palmdale in the last five yards to win the 800 in 2:06.6.

Cobian, who finished second in 2:07.0, won the 1,600 in 4:43.8 and the 3,200 in 10:42.1.

“My strategy was to let [Cobian] run his own race and make sure I had enough left to finish strong,” Gocong said. “I almost made my move too late.”
