ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

ON THE TRACK

Jake Biewer, Arrowhead: The Warhawks senior left his mark on the Classic 8 relays Monday with three victories. Two came in the hurdle events as he posted times that almost assure him a spot on the state honor roll next week. His 110 time of 14.72 seconds would ranked No. 2 in Division 1 this week and his 300 intermedia­te time of 39.71 would rank first. He also took the title in the long jump with a mark of 21 feet 11⁄4 inches.

Honorable mention

Clayton Cheney, University School: The Wildcats senior put himself in position to join the Division 2 state honor roll in the 3,200 by posting a winning time of 10:24.21 at the Butch Richardson Meet on Tuesday at University School. That time would have ranked 15th in the division this week. He also took the 1,600 title in 4:48.38.
