LINO MAGAÑA
BELTON — Onlookers near the pole vault competition at Tiger Stadium on Friday, March 24, waited in suspense as Lake Belton Middle School eighth grader Lino Magaña made three spirited attempts to tie a local junior high division record of 12-0.
Magaña, 14, easily cleared a height of 11-feet-6 and garnered a no. 2 all-time city ranking in his specialty before meet officials raised the bar six inches.
The national age-group record of 15-feet-6, set in 2000, is held by Texan Kelly Stephens.
