What to Watch!

The state leader Michelle Rubinetti of NV Demarest cleared her NJ#1 height of 12-3.5 a month ago at the Big North Conference and it still ranked her over six feet above everyone else's heights. She'll have to take on the Group merge leading NJ#2 vaulter Julia Dannenbaum of Pingry though.Dannenbaum has a season best of 11-9 so far and led last weekend with an 11-07 clearance. NJ#3 is in this as well Sophia Cortazzo of Pingry has a best of 11-07 this season. 

Prediction!

Although Rubinetti's state leading height is well ahead of the competition she has only gone over 11-06 twice this season while Dannenbaum has broken that height four times now including last weekend. I pick Julia Dannenbaum to win clearing 12-00.
