The boy-girl combo could be among the few from same high school to each win a title
In the almost half-century since there has been boys and girls high school track, only two times have athletes from the same school captured the San Diego Section high jump.
Marcaria Moore-Bastide, who leads the section girls at 5-7 this spring, and Justin Cardoza, who cleared 6-8 last year and has already gone 6-6, are off to fast starts.“I need to get back in the groove, but 6-10 is a definite possibility and 7-foot is the ultimate goal,” Cardoza, 18, said. “I hit my 6-8 late in the season last year, and I really just started high jumping this year.
Moore-Bastide, who is 5-10, has gone one better, placing the crossbar at her goal, 6-feet, and taking a few attempts, getting the upper part of her body over.“During the summer I worked with Cameron Gary and did a lot of video analysis,” said Moore-Bastide, whose father Mike Ruvalcalva is the Eastlake high jump coach.
“When I jump, I try to put everything out of my mind, just go with the flow, not have a mark in mind,” said Moore-Bastide, 17, who will continue jumping at San Francisco State next season. “I went a PR of 5-5, and then when I cleared 5-7 it was crazy,” she said. “I walked around in disbelief and even had a really good try at 5-8. And, while all of that is nice, my main goal is just to have fun and jump high.”“Justin should clear 6-10. He went over 6-6 by 6 inches,” Koopman said. “Macaria could easily jump her own height . At the next level I expect them to get stronger and go 7 and 6 but you never know, they could do that this year.
