"High" in this case is referring to a record that they had previously gotten for themselves on the Top 100 list, since they had reached the number 4 spot on the list in March. In this context, it would not sound right to drop "high" unless you changed the sentence. Ex: The baseball team is at an all-time high. They have won every single game in the championship.
