Guzman Shatters High Jump Record, Rivals Clash

Dean Guzman, for more park, just shattered a dream barrier in high jump, clearing seven

feet at the minus AC relays.

He smashed his school's record and edged out his buddy, defending state champ J.J.

Harrell from Sherman Oaks Notre Dame.

Years of training paid off big time for the high school standout.

These two go way back as teammates on the same track squad back in eighth grade.

Now they're fueling each other's fire heading into the final stretch of the season, pushing

limits in practice to leap even higher.

Coaches lost it when he cleared the bar hands up, yelling, pure chaos in the best way.

Guzman was beaming, ear to ear, soaking in the moment that felt extra special after

all the grind.

Looking ahead, they'll clash again at the southern section masters, meet and stay championships,

both right at more park for Guzman's home turf edge.

Harrell's finally healthy, wrapping up training and switching from a six step to his usual

eight step approach.

Get ready for fireworks between these rivals.

Coaches say Guzman's nowhere near his ceiling yet, so expect those bars to keep rising.
