Lombardi soaring to new heights

It went virtually unnoticed because Nick Lombardi didn't win.
Yet, the Carmel sophomore put his name among the elite jumpers in the state when he sailed 6-feet-6 in the high jump last weekend.
 What made the mark astonishing is Lombardi set a personal best by six inches.
 That's like dropping a full second in the 100 meters.
 Simply put, it seldom happens.
 Remember this is a sophomore still learning how to high jump.
 Meanwhile Lombardi has put his name among the elite high jumpers in the state as the mark is the second best by a sophomore.
