De'Marreus Wells breaks John Marshall triple jump record at state meet

De'Marreus Wells shattered a 46-year-old triple jump record for John Marshall on June 4 at the Class 3A track and field state meet in St. Michael/Albertville. Competing for the first time in state after an injury sidelined him last year, Wells achieved a distance of 46-0, placing fifth in the event. He expressed motivation from the competition, noting the high level among his peers. John Marshall's Norah Miller had a tough day with no height in the high jump and only one legal jump in the long jump. Abi Tri finished 11th overall in the 3,200 meters, improving her time from the previous week. The Mayo 4x100 relay team set a meet record, qualifying as favorites for Saturday's finals.
