La Jolla athletes shine at Bronco Invitational Several La Jolla High School (LJHS) track and field members turned in strong performances at a recent Bronco Invitational. Jose Aviles won the invitational shot put with a toss of 55’4.25″. The toss was three feet further for Aviles than last year during the same meet. Jeremy McGrath was second in the pole vault with a vault of 14’1″. According to LJHS head coach Roger Karnopp, this was an awesome performance, considering that McGrath was second in a meet at San Diego State University when he vaulted 14’7.75″. The boys’ distance medley relay team placed second at 10:55.25. The team was made up of Andrew Farkas, Daniel Chiu, Alex Eve and Michael Conroy. On the girls’ side, Venora Guerard broke the girls’ school record in the triple jump with a distance of 37’6.25″. The old record was set in 1999 at 37’1.75.” LJCD netters open season on winning note The La Jolla Country Day School boys’ tennis team opened the season recently with a 10-8 win over Francis Parker. Warren Wood swept all of his singles sets and the freshmen duo of Jack Murphy and Amir Ferry went 2-for-3 in doubles. “Parker is always a tough opponent and they made us fight hard for the win,” said LJCD head coach Joslynn Burkett.
