White Sets Sights on 2016 Olympics For Triple Jump

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Tim White's potential in the triple jump is difficult to gauge. He's only been competing in the event for four years, he's only been receiving elite training for four weeks and he's still in football shape after playing receiver, punt returner and kick returner for the Sun Devils this fall.

"I wouldn't even say he has trained with us yet," Sun Devils track coach Greg Kraft said. "He had almost 300 all-purpose yards (289) in the (Cactus) bowl game (Jan. 2) so when he came in here he was pretty beat up. The biggest thing we've done with him is get him with our therapist and our trainers to get him healthy and prepared because we approach conditioning differently than football.
