High jumpers also don't enjoy the benefit of wearing spikes. “Usually when it rains, I don't do that well at all,” Pieczynski said. “My jump has heen off all year. You have to think about sliding; it's all psychological. Every jump I thought about sliding on the pavement.” After securing first place, Pieczynski took a stab at the school record by asking the judges to raise the bar to 6-7. The senior was high enough on all three at- tempts, but knocked the bar down each time.
