Gyulay won the long jump (21 feet, 1/2 inch) and the triple jump (43-7). He was the third leg in the 4x100-meter relay that won and set an Academy League meet record, 43.95 seconds. The previous record was 45.0 set by Oxford Academy in 2008. Gyulay was second in the high jump (5-8). The top three in each event qualified for the CIF Southern Section Division IV preliminaries at Carpinteria High May 15.

Senior Kevin Schaefer won the 100 in 11.03. He was on the 4x100 relay, plus he finished second in the 200 in 22.36 and third in the pole vault (10-6).

Junior Luke Angel won the pole vault (11-0) because he had the least misses after the event was cut short due to darkness.

Jack Percival, who was on the 4x100 relay team, finished second in the long jump (20-7 1/2 ) and third in the 400 (52.51).

Senior Lion Wintemute, also on the 4x100 relay team, was second in the 400 in 51.43. Wintemute sustained a pulled left hamstring in the 200. Sage Hill Coach Khara Covington hopes he can return for the CIF meet.

“With him we really did expect to win [the Academy League title],” Covington said. “We lost significant points with him going down because he also competes in the 4x400 relay.”

St. Margaret’s won the meet with 141 points. Sage had 115.
