AA Boys' Triple Jump Preview
New Brighton's Anthony Milliner put down a clutch performance last spring to capture the AA triple jump title---a leap of 48-5.5. We knew he was excited to come back to try and defend his title and he's definitely looked like the favorite to do so after a terrific senior season.
Milliner has over a two foot better season best than the next closest in AA. He popped a 49-0 jump at Baldwin and the WPIAL champ has a ton of momentum coming into the weekend. It's all about getting the job done at this point and bringing home another title.
Washington's Isaiah Robinson can't be counted out though. He battled Milliner hard to a second place at WPIALs. Robinson was third a year ago at states and could pull out another big performance this time around.
Palisades' Matt Siley, Movitation's Nafese Mack, Union Area's James Thomas, SJCA's Lance Hamilton, and Milton Area's Keayon Williams are among the other contenders in this field.
