Larissa Coté of Unsworth elementary competes in the Grade 3 girls high jump during the annual District 33 elementary track meet Thursday at Sardis secondary. Amazingly, Larissa does the uncommon scissor-jump style, not the common Fosbury flop like most high jumpers. Larissa placed first in her 2004 division with a highest jump of 111cm.
