Their latest crown came in dominant fashion, as they tallied 826.5 points -- way ahead of Mapua (584) and Arellano (540).Grospe shared the spotlight with Ramirez, a fellow national team mainstay, as he swept all three jumping events—long jump, triple jump and high jump.It was in high jump though where he drew most of the attention as he destroyed the old mark of 2.04 meters shared by John Paul Sale of Mapua, Adonis Cordero of JRU and Christian Dave Geraldino of Mapua by leaping to 2.05m.UPHSD, meanwhile, reigned supreme in the juniors’ side and ran away with the crown with an 804.5.JRU finished second with a 657.25 while AU third with a 503.5.
