I’m a week late on posting this, but the Athletes of the Week (honored on April 28) both own school records in their respective sports. Free State junior Courtney Caldwell has dominated for the girls swimming and diving team, winning a state title in the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard freestyle last year. Senior Trevor Hillis is new to the school’s record books, setting a new mark in the boys pole vault.
