Anthony Mahowald (Sartell, Minn./Sartell HS) stepped onto the long jump runway with the podium in mind. After coming in way behind the board on his first attempt, the pressure heated up with opportunities fleeting.

This put Mahowald into fifth position heading into finals in what proved to be a back and forth final for the point scorers. Having time for a quick reset before the final attempts, Mahowald capitalized on the opportunity and jolted up the leaderboard with a booming leap of 6.86m. This mark moved Mahowald all the way up to third place to secure a bronze medal podium finish. Mahowald holds the second farthest long jump mark in school history.

Matthew Erickson (Cloquet, Minn./Cloquet HS) placed 10th in the long jump with a bound of 6.38m.
