the former record holder, Teta Murphy, Jamie is an all-around athlete
who also excels in vollyball and soccer. She'd been flirting with the
record since she was a freshman, but it wasn't until the last half of
her junior year that she got it all together. Jamie's 5' 7" high
jump at the CIF prelims on May 22nd obliterated the former mark of 5-4.
She actually broke the old mark a week earlier at the City Championship
by jumping 5-4 1/4.
At the state finals in Sacramento she jumped
5-7 in the prelims to advance to the finals and 5-7 again in the finals
to tie for 5th. She also once held the school
record in the 100 meter hurdles and is a member of the record
4x400 team.
In 2006 she tied the all-time San Diego CIF record at the Torrey Pines
Falcon Invite with a jump of 5' 10-1/4 inches.
The photos show her after her record jump at Torrey Pines (above), clearing 5-10.25 (from a video frame) and with Kerry Elders, her high jump coach, at the state meet in Sacramento after her 5th place finish.

| Sarah Player 5' 5" Poway 2005
 If it weren't for Jamie Klage's incredible 5' 10.25" jump Sarah Player would hold 5 school records as she's the current record holder in the 100 and 300 meter hurdles as well as the 100 and 200 meter sprints. She never held the high jump record because she and Jamie were on the same team. CLICK HERE for a YouTube Video of Sarah clearing 5-4 at the 2006 Titan Track Fest. Previous Record Holder: Teta Murphy 5' 4"
In 1980 Teta Murphy was on the record board 4 times for the 400, the long jump, the high jump and the 4x400 meter relay. While paging through the 1980 yearbook I noticed that she was also the homecoming queen (photo) and active in lots of other sports as well. Her high jump record lasted for 24 years, her 400 record for 18 years and she still holds the long jump record. |
