TORRANCE — Getting the crowd to clap with him on his third and final attempt in the boys pole vault at a height of 16-03, Canyon’s Christian Valles was amped to be competing at the CIF-Southern Section Masters Meet at El Camino College on Saturday.
“Everyone knows each other, including all the parents and coaches, so I started a clap because it amps you up with everyone joining in on the cheering since we are all trying to make it through to state,” Valles said.
