Former Apple Valley High School and University of Minnesota star Shani Marks finished second in the triple jump at the USA Indoor Championships on Sunday. Marks, who won USA Indoor titles in 2005 and 2007, jumped 45-6.25 (13.87m) while Shakeema Welsch hit 45-9 (13.94m).
Marks won USA Outdoor Championships titles in 2006 and 2007. Her personal best jump of 46-2.5 (14.08m) from last summer surpasses the IAAF World Indoor Championships standard, so Marks should have the opportunity to represent Team USA in Valencia, Spain, next month.
Amanda Thieschafer, who competed for Melrose High School and North Dakota State University, finished third at the Indoor Championships with a jump of 44-4 (13.51m).
