  • Second best

        LAKEWOOD — Fort Lupton’s Cicero Johns knows how to wrap up one’s high school track career.
        For openers, he was second in the state 3A high jump at Jeffco Stadium. His top height was 6 feet 5 inches, an inch and a half off the school record.
        “It feels good,” Johns said. “I didn’t break our school record, which was sad. I tried it at four different meets – 0-for-12 so far.”
        He took sixth in the triple jump, too. He qualified for the triple jump for the first time this year. Johns said his last effort in the triple jump was the best.

        It didn’t take him that long to sum up his 14th-place showing.
        “That wasn’t a good race. I don’t know about that one,” Vargas said. “I hit too many hurdles. I felt good at the start. Once I hit some hurdles, I got frustrated. It threw me off, especially on the curve.”
