Apparently Trent Arrivey was a little top heavy before this week, but a trip to the barber seems to have taken care of that. Arrivey, a senior from Woodinville High School, high-jumped 7 feet Thursday, making him the state leader by 4 inches. \"I got a haircut this week, so that might have been it,\" joked Arrivey, whose previous best this year was 6-8. \"My goal coming into this year was 7-1, so I still haven\'t quite reached that yet.\" Arrivey\'s jump was not only a personal best, but a school record. He broke the mark of 6-10 set in 1996 by his high-jump coach, Eric Green. \"I\'m thrilled that he broke it,\" Green said. \"Seven feet is a big, big goal for any high jumper, so for him to accomplish that is pretty special.\" Arrivey was tied for the state lead going into the week with Jeremy Taiwo, a sophomore at Newport of Bellevue. Arrivey jumped 6-9 as a junior. He is the first high-school athlete in the state to clear 7 feet since Roosevelt\'s Norris Frederick jumped 7-1 in 2004, and the 23rd athlete in state history to clear 7 feet. One notable on that list is 14-year NBA veteran Doug Christie, who jumped 7 feet in 1988 while at Rainier Beach. Rick Noji holds the state record of 7-4
