of the season in an athletics meet yesterday in Germany.

It was a weak field but the 30-year-old triple jumper's effort of 16.97 metres wasn't as he finished second to Germany's Charles Friedek. Fiedek had a jump of 17.11 metres.

Wellman, the Island's five-time Athlete of the Year, has not had a good year but will represent Bermuda at the CAC Games next month and the Commonwealth Games in September.
