Some of the performances at least week’s holiday tournaments and meets deserve one last look – especially since you don’t see these every day:

North Carroll’s Amber Melville won the high jump at the Frostbite Invite with an impressive leap of 5, feet 8 inches. That would have been good enough to win seven of the eight girls indoor and outdoor state titles of the last school year. She would have tied for the other. Melville, who won the Class 4A state title outdoors as a freshman, also won the Carroll County championship in the event Saturday, matching her state title leap of 5-6.

McDonogh’s Candice Hendricks, a sophomore guard, hit all nine of the shots she took from the field in scoring 19 points in a 73-45 win over National Cathedral at the Holly & Hoops Tournament.

River Hill’s Katie Harman broke the meet record for 3,200 meters at the Southern Maryland Mega Meet last week by 36 seconds. Her time of 11 minutes, 01.21 seconds is the fastest in that distance this season by a Baltimore-area girl. Harman also broke the meet record at 1,600 meters in 5:10.05. The senior won state Class 2A titles at both distances last winter.
