Balumbu completes daily double for James Logan

by Elliott Denman

After Decontee Kaye's girls TJ triumph, Nkosinza Balumbu completed James
Logan High, Union City, California's daily double in the triple.

Balumbu won it with a first jump of 48-4 ¾, but could never rest easy.

Brandon Cathcart of Salisbury, NC made him sweat with a second-round 48- 2 ¾, and third-placer Wendell Simpkins of Concordville, Pa. had a good 47-4 ¼.

Balumbu wasn't really satisfied: "It was all right; I didn't do as well as I wanted to, but coming out
here and winning was OK.
"Last week I jumped 50. I was trying to exceed 50 feet again. That was it."
The 5-10, 140-pounder closed strongly, too, with a sixth-jump 48-2 ¼.
"I always try to leave something for that last jump," he said. "48 again was all right. I wasn't expecting it. I'll take it.
His college choices: "I haven't made a decision, but it's out of UCLA, Arkansas, Cal and Washington
State."

Close battle under 40 feet

by Elliott Denman

Never endangered were the national (43-11 ½) and Nike meet (41-8 ½) records
but James Logan High, Union City, California senior Decontee Kaye, Richmond,
Va. sophomore Queen Harrison and Alexandria, Va. junior Nakeisha Wineglass
still delivered a stirring competition. Just two and three-quarter inches
separated these top medalists.

Kaye won it with her 39-8 ¾ on fourth jaunt down the runway. Harrison
posted her best of 39-7 ¼ in the first round. Wineglass' 39-6 came in round three.

For the first time in meet annals, though, the winning distance dipped
under 41 feet. Even with USA record-holder and Athens Olympian Tiombe Hurd, a
Marylander, on hand to lend advice and encouragement.
