LAST TIME OUT
The University of Minnesota picked up a total of 15 event wins during the 2025 Jack Johnson Classic at the University Fieldhouse on January 24-25. The 'U' was led by notable victories from Anthonett Nabwe (Shot Put and Weight Throw) and Kennedy Martinson (Pentathlon). Martinson posted a lifetime best 3,836 points to win the pentathlon and now sits at No. 12 nationally and No. 7 all-time at Minnesota. The point total for Martinson comes in just her third career pentathlon and goes down as the most points by a Gopher in the event since Allison Gerads (4,088 points) in 2021. Nabwe's victories both came on Saturday, with the shot put (17.23m | 56-6 1/2) coming first followed by the weight throw (22.63m | 74-3).
