The Class 4 and Class 5 champions are among the top three distances from triple jumpers last year in Missouri that are returning this spring.
Class 5 state champ Maya Anderson of MICDS and a University of Kentucky signee, has the best returning mark by more than six inches ahead of the closest other returning jumper. Illinois State signee Ava Lawless of Kearney (pictured above) is third after claiming the Class 4 crown last year.
Another returning state champion is from Class 1 in Atlanta High School's Kyley Magers.
