The sophomore broke a 10-year-old record in the pole vault at the Irv Black Relays with a leap of 10 feet, zero inches. She has already improved by two feet her best jumps from a year ago. “I didn’t even know what it was before I got to high school,’’ says Lexie, who also set the indoor record of 10 feet, six inches. “The first time I tried it was in the ninth grade.

His sons, Bryan and Anthony, help him along with Gerald Anastasia, the Recreation and Parks athletic director. Bryan plays on the Brien McMahon baseball t…
