New Balance Nationals Outdoor 2015
Jake Willard


Its going to be a close one in the boys triple jump at New Balance Nationals Outdoors. The field features U.S. No. 4 DJ Ledell from River Bluff in South Carolina. This will be the sophomore's first time competing at NBN and he is looking to make a splash. Behind him is Armani Wallace, whose season's best of 49-6 got him the win at the Golden South Classic. This will also be his first time at NBN.

Also in the field is Marcellus Fletcher, the second place finisher in the triple from NBN indoors this past February. This is a stacked field that is looking to make this a great competition this weekend.
