Josh Winters

SCHOOL: Bothell

SPORT: Track and field

VITALS: Senior, 5-foot-9 pole vaulter

WHAT HE DID: Winters set a Bothell school record, clearing 15 feet, 7 inches in the pole vault -- a state best this season -- in a meet against Roosevelt. He also tied for first in the 100-meter dash (11.5 seconds) and anchored the winning 400 relay team (44.8).

HOW HE DID IT: "I think he's a cleaner vaulter than most of the vaulters out there," coach Drew Langland said. "A lot of guys, you'll see them kicking and flailing all over the place. He's shown me in the last couple weeks that he can get pretty vertical."

WHAT HE'LL DO NEXT: Winter ordered 15 foot, 6 inch carbon fiber poles that should push him over the 16 foot mark. Winters may aim for 16-6 in a meet today against Inglemoor and Woodinville. If he can improve the timing of his swing and his turn on top of the pole, the mark is possible, Langland said. Winters is undecided on a college.
