Just like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, sophomore Dora Gyorffy and University of Texas junior Erin Aldrich always seem to meet whenever the stakes are high.

On Thursday at the 105th Penn Relays at historic Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Aldrich jumped 1.87 meters to beat Gyorffy by three centimeters in the high jump.

Aldrich won this year's indoor NCAA championship and the indoor and outdoor crowns last year. Gyorffy finished second at this year's NCAA indoor championships and third her freshman year. She also finished third at the NCAA outdoor championships last year.

Gyorffy's defeat of Aldrich in last year's Penn Relays handed Aldrich her first-ever high jump loss.

This year, however, Aldrich got revenge.

"We have competed so much against each other that we get along pretty well," Gyorffy said. "It's really fun to compete against her, and I don't get a chance to compete with people who are that good."

Gyorffy held the lead after she made her first attempt at 1.84 meters. Aldrich eventually cleared that height, but then both missed on their first two tries at 1.87 meters. Gyorffy missed her third and final try, while Aldrich made hers.

"It was a good competition, and lots of people were watching us," Gyorffy said. "We're both getting ready for the summer, so we're practicing hard and not peaking yet, so we didn't jump that high."

"I'm pretty happy," she added. "I haven't been jumping that great, so I'm getting there."
