Sandle Breaks State Triple Jump Record; Injury Thwarts Edina's Crawford-Tufts

Eden Prairie senior Michael Sandle broke the Minnesota all-time high school record in the triple jump last night at the opening day of the MSHSL Section 6AA meet at Hopkins High School.

Sandle marked a jump of 50-4 1/2, eclipsing Reondo Davis' 1999 leap of 50-4. At the Hamline Elite Meet earlier this season, Sandle jumped 50-3 1/4, just shy of Davis' mark.

Sandle is the defending MSHSL Class AA triple jump champion.

Devin Crawford-Tufts, the Edina senior who is the defending Class AA state champion at 100 and 200-meters, won't return to next weekend's State Meet at Hamline University to defend his titles.

Cawford-Tufts did not advance to the finals of the Section 6AA 100-meters. The state's second fastest high school 100-meter runner of all-time, ran an injury hobbled 11.85 last night, good for only 19th in the 100-meter prelims.

Crawford-Tufts did not compete in the 200-meter contested later in the evening.
