He didn’t even know what to do with himself. Westfield’s Adam Bergo ran out from the infield, hugging and hi-fiving anyone and everyone he could find.
“I was thinking that I broke the school record, I need to hug somebody,” he said. “I needed to.”
Bergo couldn’t contain himself after clearing 7 feet to win the high jump at the 71st Eastern States championships at the New Balance Track and Field Center. Bergo’s best clearance was previously 6-8. In fact, he even struggled to clear that height before the New Jersey state meet Saturday. His height Tuesday is the second-best in the country this season.

Immaculate Conception’s Dominique Booker loves the 200 meters. The sophomore is captivated by the rush she gets when she powers around the first curve. She’s infatuated with streaking down the back straightaway, knowing that she’s ahead as she shatters the staggered start. Her heart starts pounding as she enters the second curve, knowing the homestretch is near. Then there’s the adrenaline of the dash toward the finish line.
All those things happened Tuesday in the fastest 200 meters that Booker ever ran. She won the race in 24.21 seconds at the Eastern States championships, the third-fastest time the country this season. It looked like she won the race in the first 60 meters but she needed to hold off a charging Zoey Russell of Fredrick Douglass in the closing meters. Click Here for Rest of Article
