Prep Athlete of the Week: Wryott Gerson

DULUTH, Minn.- Denfeld track and field, basketball and football star Wryott Gerson is our guy. In the first two track meets of this season Gerson broke his own school record in the triple jump with a mark of 47 feet and one inch. Just last June he placed second in the class AA State tournament with a mark of 45 feet and 2 ¾ inches. So in less than a year he has already improved by almost three feet.

Gerson is the defending Lake Superior Conference and Section 7AA champion in the 100 and 200 meters, long jump and triple jump. So even though he’s already broken his previous records something tells us he’s just getting warmed up.
