Wayzata's Mara Braun returns this season for her second year of track hoping to make a big impact. In her first year of track in 2019, she had a third-place finish at state in the long jump and a disappointing 16th place finish in the long jump. She comes back this season with experience this time and looks to make a big mark in Minnesota.
