LOCKPORT — Vince Lombardi wouldn't quite know what to make of a track sectional. In those carnivals, winning isn't the only thing. Second place is almost as good, because it still sends you to the IHSA championship the following week. Plus, anyone beyond second matching or surpassing the state standard also advances to the final at Eastern Illinois. That means seven pole vaulters at 10 feet, 2.75 inches or better in Friday's girls 3A sectional at Lockport Township will be at next week's IHSA grand finale.
