144 feet, 10 inches; a record he set at the area meet a few weeks ago.
Lambeth almost placed in the 3200m run but came up short after placing third at 10:39.03.
Zach Mauldin placed 11th in the 1600m run at 5:07.30, Faith Crocker placed 13th in the 800m run with a time of 2:39.58 and Makayla Fielder placed seventh in the 3200m run at 13:12.24 and eighth in the 1600m run at 6:03.45.
