Pericozzi comes in second
Ryan Pericozzi of Lancaster High School finished second Sunday in the young men division of the pole vault at the 2008 USA Youth Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Charlotte, N. C. Pericozzi’s vault of 15 feet, 3 inches trailed only the vault of Corey Shank (16’-2”) of Fort Wayne, Ind.

In same meet and division, Jordan Hamm, a Canisius High School senior from North Java, closed from the back of the 12-man pack to finish fourth in the 1,500 meters. Hamm was clocked in 4 minutes, 5.83 seconds, far back of winner Terence Lee of Philadelphia (3:59.90) but just 0.02 seconds behind third-place finisher Andrew Campbell of Clovis, Calif., who caught him in the final strides.
