NEW YORK (AP) – Former New York Giants running back David Wilson has come up well short of his personal best in the triple jump in his first professional track and field meet.
Wilson plans to compete again Sunday as he tries to qualify for the U.S. championships.
Wilson jumped 48 feet, 1 1/4 inches Saturday at the Adidas Grand Prix. His personal best is 52-6 3/4.
He last competed in 2011, when he finished sixth at the NCAA meet for Virginia Tech.
A serious neck injury forced Wilson to retire from the NFL at age 23 in August. The former first-round pick then decided to give the triple jump another try.
Cuba’s Pedro Pablo Pichardo won Saturday with a jump of 57-7 1/2.
