Minnesota's next wave of jumpers has already made an impact across the long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault. Their versatility and early marks point to strong upside at the high school level.
Top Incoming Jumpers:
Huntjens leads the long jump at 19-0, sits near the top of the triple jump at 39-5.5, and has cleared 5-2 in the high jump to boot.
Peterson is another versatile field event athlete, ranking near the top in the high jump (5-2), contributing in the triple jump (34-7.75), and boasting a pole vault mark of 8-10.
Harris sits third in the long jump at 18-8.25 and is tied for third in the high jump at 5-6.
Warren ranks in the long jump at 17-0 and the triple jump at 34-7, giving her a consistent two-event presence in the horizontal jumps.
Olarinoye's 40-6 in the triple jump is the second-best mark in the group and the number that defines his profile right now. He also appears in the long jump leaderboard at 17-9.
Schlieman's 35-2.25 in the triple jump is her standout mark, placing her among the top horizontal jumpers in the class. She's also long jumped 16-4.75.
