Vincent Frias
Vincent Frias, a senior and high jump captain at Glendora High School, is a talented athlete who plans on working hard to get his team to win CIF. He began competing his freshman year after watching his older brother win the league championship. He has jumped 6 feet high, and his goal is to reach 6’5 feet, since that is the height recruiting starts.
Q: How did you start competing in high jump?
A: My brother won league champion his junior year when I was a freshman, and that inspired me to start.
