Ross finished as runner-up in the high jump with a leap of 5-6 1/4. The senior from Center Valley had been sixth last year. The event was won by Marsha Krysiewski of Lock Haven, who also cleared 5-6 1/4, but had fewer misses.

Jester, a senior from Oakland, N.J., finished third in the long jump at 17-8 3/4 and sixth in the high jump at 5-4 1/4. She has now placed in 12 PSAC events over four seasons.

The sophomore from Cliffside Park, N.J. led the field in the javelin with a throw of 130-1 and was second in the final 800-meter run in 2:27.32.

The Warriors had two other place-winners in Strickler, fifth in the high jump at 5-4 1/4, and Mark Stinson, sixth in the long jump at 22-3 1/4.
