The Enterprise — Marcello Iaia

Hasani Rathan, a man of will, clears the bar on his way to victory Saturday. Unlike most jumpers, Rathan doesn’t use a marked starting point from which to run into his jump. He was eventually the only one to clear 6 feet, 10 inches, his personal record, and missed at 7 feet, taking first place. Rathan, 18, is from William Floyd School District on Long Island and plans to jump for the University at Buffalo next fall.
