AUSTEN NELSON WAS HEAD OVER HEELS ON THE APRON OF THE 2024 LHSAA CLASS 5A STATE MEET
Dutchtown's Austen Nelson is the top returning boy in Louisiana heading into the 2025 Louisiana high school indoor season. But if Nelson is going to finish the season ranked No. 1, he is going to have to out jump three athletes who had a better outdoor season that he did.
Nelson's best jump during the outdoor came at the LSU Last Chance Qualifier where he jumped 6-6.75.
Outdoors, Slidell's Gionni Wiltz (6-10), Shaw's Cory Watts (6-10), and Huntington's Landon Gibbs (6-8) all had jumps better than Nelson (6-7).
Of the top returners, Wiltz was the only jumper to take part in last year's LSU High School Classic. He finished fifth with a jump of 6-2.75.
