Athletes of the Week

It’s early in the spring season for every sport, but that hasn’t stopped a few athletes from rounding into midseason form. Lawrence High senior Allison Williams has already qualified for the state tournament in the one-meter dive as she’s finished in first place in all three of her team’s meets. Free State High senior Lucas Werner had a javelin toss of 155-4 against LHS in a dual last week, which is near his 155-01 toss that placed him 11th in state last spring.
