Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph article dated March 24, 1961 partially reads, "The king is dead, a new monarch has risen in West Valley League track. For three years Reseda's mighty Regents have worn the West Valley League crown, and wore it well, but yesterday the Cavaliers from Cleveland High stamped themselves as new rulers by crushing host Reseda 66-38 in the season's first dual meet... The meet was highlighted by Randall B. 'Randy' Walker's amazing leap in the high jump of 6 ft., 5 in. This Cleveland High School straight 'A' student won the city 'B' championship last year and in clearing 6-5 yesterday became the all-time great high jumper in either West or East Valley League history."
