Track: Schooley sets Yakima vault record

YAKIMA, Wash. — Marcus Schooley literally climbed to the top of Yakima high school pole vaulting on Saturday.
The Davis senior cleared 15 feet, 3 inches to break a 16-year-old school record and establish a new Valley all-time record at the 85th annual Davis Invitational at Zaepfel Stadium.
Riverside Christian’s Derek Byrne captured the javelin (190-7) and long jump (21-0) and placed second in the 110 hurdles (15.12) in the 17-team meet.
Schooley, who led four other local vaulters over 13-0, topped Davis’ previous record of 15-11?2 set in 1995 by James Gardner.
In the girls meet, Eisenhower swept the throwing events with Ewieona Williams (shot), Claire Goins (discus) and Brooke Brown (javelin).
• Zillah’s boys and Naches Valley’s girls won the team titles in Royal’s 16-team Ron Vanderholm Invitational. Zillah’s Logan Olney won the 100 and 200 and helped the Leopards win the 4×100 and 4×400, and NV’s Kelsie Taylor and Kelly Snyder were double winners in the field events.
• West Valley’s girls 4×200 team of Mikele Cluff, Ashley Packard, Lindsay Burns and Chantel Jaeger clocked 1:45.97 at Southridge’s Fast Times Invitational. Jaeger also won the 100 and 200.
• Eisenhower’s Timothy Cummings and Mayra Chavez clocked 4:22.00 and 5:13.81, respectively, in mile races at the Arcadia Invitational in California.

BBAO: Jenn Sterger speaks

We're Black and Blue All Over:

I ducked out for a week. Upon my return, I figured we would have a new set of stories and at least some fresh news here in the NFC North. And what do we have here on this fine Monday morning? The Brett Favre-Jenn Sterger story is right back in our wheelhouse.

This story technically doesn't fall under NFC North jurisdiction anymore because Favre has retired from the Minnesota Vikings (and Green Bay Packers), and the issue at hand occurred during Favre's season with the New York Jets in 2008. But there remains a fair amount of Favre interest among our readership, and ultimately Sterger's yet-to-be-aired interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" will play a role in the permanence of the episode on Favre's reputation.

Will Sterger downplay Favre's alleged pursuit of her? Will she confirm the creepiest reported details? Will the interview put a final stamp on the issue or re-open it? Remember, the NFL fined Favre $50,000 for failing to be forthright with the investigation but not for violating any league rules.

"GMA" will air the interview Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. A few excerpts have been published, centered mostly on Sterger's inability to get a job. But here is how Sterger described her initial contact with Favre through an intermediary when she was a sideline reporter for the Jets:

    "I was approached one day at the beginning of the preseason games, by a man wearing a Jets badge, employee badge, who asked me, 'How would you feel if Brett Favre asked for your phone number? What would you say?' And I just looked at him, my usual smartass self. And I said, 'I'd say I like my job an awful lot. And I've been told I look remarkably like his wife.'"
