The Bloomfield top duo of Korey Steele (23-0) and reigning champ Sean Dixon-Bodie (22-10.25) should be battling it out with Derby's Juan Guevara Cragwell (22-7.25). A strong quartet a little ways behind include Bloomfield's Anthony Simpson (21-7), Northwest Catholic's Lorenzo Garcia (21-5), Seymour's Joshua Lanzieri (20-11), and Canton's Peter Fuller (20-10.5).

High Jump

Meet Record: 6-9     Last Year's Winner:  Ja'kwan Hale (Derby) 6-6

Canton's Peter Fuller could be putting on a show here. He is entered at 6-8 and seems to have a PR of 6-7 and he jumped 6-2 at both Class S and the Open last year before finishing the season up at 6-7 for New England and the Nationals EE group. Bloomfield's Ajrael Anderson and Old Saybrook's Jonathan Barnes are seeded at 6-2, while Bloomfield's Sean Dixon-Bodie, Classical Magnet's Stephen Mallard, and yes, THAT Eli Manning, the one from Oxford, are all at 6-0.
