Delsea senior Henry Cifaloglio moved into the No. 6 spot on the all-time South Jersey indoor pole vault list with a 15-0 clearance at the Group 3 state relays.
It’s the Bubble so we get no field event progression, which is preposterous in this day and age. But the Bubble is stupid. So no splits on the track and no event progression in the field.
But Cifaloglio became the 9th South Jersey vaulter to clear 15 feet indoors, 3rd from Delsea and 6th from Gloucester County.
Cifaloglio is the 2nd Gloucester County vaulter to clear 15 feet this indoor season. Deptford’s Marcus Hood did it last month at a meet at the Ott Center. Hood cleared 15-3 outdoors last spring.
Cifaloglio’s indoor PR was 12-0 coming into this season. He cleared 14-0 at the state Group 3 meet at Delsea last spring and had just cleared 14-6 for the first time earlier this month at the Ott.
Delsea junior Mason Murray cleared 11-6, and the Crusader won the pole vault relay at the Group 3 State Relays with a combined 26-6. Deptford was 2nd with Hood [14-0] and junior Mason Henry [11-6].
