S “Jumper will tee ofl at Iona DALLAS - Justin Jumper, an outstanding Dallas High School student and athlete, will join the freshman class at Iona College this fall. Justin made his an- nouncement May 5, accompanied by his parents, Rich and Lynn, Jack Wolensky, guidance coun- i#:clor and baseball coach, and Tom - Kilduff, golf coach. Justin settled on Iona, which is is New Rochelle NY, after consid- ering nine other colleges and uni- versities, primarily Penn State, Villanova and Susquehanna. Iona was attractive because of its aca- demic reputation, he said, and for a Division 1 golf team. While he’s been on the golf ®.urse since age 7, introduced to the game at Fox Hill Country Club by his grandfather Dave Marchesini, Justin didn’t get seri- ous about the game until the sum- mer of 1996. The extra practice Justin Jumper was ready to apply the tag during last week's paid off when he was invited to states, where he placed 32nd out of 72 golfers. At Iona, Justin will play on the Wykagyl Golf Course, which also hosts an LPGA tour- nament each year. And he’ll com- pete against some of the same schools he passed up, along with Princeton and Yale. With a 3.5 grade-point aver- age, ranking him 9th in his class, Justin will receive a scholarship based on both academics and golf. He expects to join the “Unified Science Program,” then select a major his sophomore year. No slouch in other sports, Jus- tin leads Class AAA of the Wyo- ming Valley Conference in batting with a .550 average this spring, but won't be able to pursue the sport at Iona since golf and base- ball are played in the same sea- son.

He finished 6th at the Penn Relays in April, with a leap of 6'9 1/2" SOFTBALL HIGHLIGHTS The Yankees and Cardinals met in a makeup game Friday night, and the action was fast and furious. Clockwise from top right photo: the Yankees' Rebecca Clay couldn't quite reach a smash between short and third. A line drive made it over Laura Fauerbach's outstretched glove as Alison Walker backed up the play. Carrie Thimot called for the infield fly. Abigal Fried, Yankees pitcher, fired to first after stopping a grounder. Heidi Simko was at third. ports\Veek POST PHOTOS/RON BARTIZEK Brad Diettenbacher reaches new heights By JENNIFER KLAIPS Sports Correspondent LEHMAN - Determination, dili- gence, and talent. These are just some qualities of Lake-Lehman senior Brad Dieffenbacher. A track standout, Dieffenbacher excels in the high jump and triple jump. At the Penn Relays held on April 25, Dieffenbacher set the school record in the high jump (6' 9") for a sixth place finish. He also holds the school record for the triple jump at 44' 1/2". In addi- tion to these accomplishments, Dieffenbacher is currently the record holder in District 2 AA for the high jump. He finished sec- ond in the state and was district champ in that event last year. Dieffenbacher first joined the track team in seventh grade. He originally joined as a hobby “on the side,” but as he began to excel, track became of greater impor- tance. Dieffenbacher is one of the team captains this year, and his coaches say he is a very dedicated team member. Track coach Ed Narkiewicz de- scribed Brad as a hard worker at practice. “He works diligently and goes beyond what's required,” said “Coach Nark.” Willing to compete in any event when called upon, “Brad does ‘was eviden Ed Narkiewicz Lake-Lehman track co Dieffenbacher has “good determi- nation and a good attitude.” Narkiewicz also said that “Brad doesn’t fold under pressure as was evident at the Penn Relays.” Brad, age 17, is the son of Scott and Pat Dieffenbacher of Chase. His hobbies include basketball and soccer, but track is his favor- ite. Of the three events he com- petes in — high jump, triple jump, and long jump —the high jump is his favorite. As far as the team’s accom- plishments, Dieffenbacher com- mented, “If the team had more depth, we would have finished better.” However, both Dieffenbacher and Narkiewicz are looking forward to Districts, which take place on May 15. Listing goals and expectations, Dieffenbacher is trying to reset his district record in the high jump. “I would like to advance to States in the high jump and triple jump.” ] 3
