  • Runner of the week: PATRICK O'DONNELL - This kid ran 2:16 in JV 800 which would have placed top 5 in the varsity division. He's a freshmen who, despite playing soccer and basketball this year, is more than ready to kill it this track season - Brandon Carpenter

  • Field athlete of the week: OLLIE WINTERMUTE - This person vaulted 13'6 for the first time this season. Although he's not anywhere near his pr, he's starting to get back into the groove. Ollie Wintermute went 13'6" to join the 13'6" club - Mason Ellens

  • Fire in the eyes: OWEN CARTER - Got his first height(s) in pole vault. The determination and fire in the eyes during these attempts was second to none and you could see that his hard work at practice is paying off. - Graham Faris

  • Captain’s Award: ROBERT WION - Served as a last-minute sub in the 4x4, helping the team, staying tough, and staying positive - Jacob Blew

  • Awesome Award: RYAN REBMAN - While fearlessly 3-stepping in the hurdles, Ryan went down on a hard fall, but got right back up and finished the race. He's a true hurdler now and that was an awesome moment of grit and determination. - Coach Voland


That's it! Remember to bookmark www.gwtrackandfield.com and join our Remind to stay connected.
