Maggie Galle reached her goal for the track and field season at her first meet on Saturday.

The Half Moon Bay High School senior cleared 5 feet, 4 inches in the high jump to win that event at Saturdays K-Bell Track and Field Classic.

Galles performance was one of several highlights for the Cougars at the first big track meet of the season.

Mitch Martin finished fifth in the 1,600 meters in a personal best time of 4 minutes, 19.16 seconds.

Danielle Peranich took seventh in the triple jump, leaping 32-8.

Kylie Freeburg was fourth in her heat of the 400 meters, ninth overall at 1:02.60.

Galle started Saturdays competition at 4-6, easily clearing that height.

She went through the next few heights, uneventfully advancing to 5-2. By that time, 18 of the 21 other competitors bowed out of the competition. Galles clearance at 5-2 tied her personal best, set last year.

The four were ready for their three attempts at 5-4. Galle attempted that height several times last year, failing to clear it once. She came close a few times.
