Jack Guthridge - Kapaun Mt. Carmel - Guthridge posted only one open mark this past week, but it was a stellar one. His 10.23 for the win in the 100 meter dash at the SE Varsity Invitational is a massive personal best for the reigning 5A State runner-up. It is also a US No. 12 all-conditions mark.
Noah Allen - St. Thomas Aquinas - Allen put together an impressive day at the inaugural March Trackness event this weekend, running 10.85 and 22.18 personal bests in the 100 and 200 meter dash, respectively. He also hit the top long jump mark in the State so far: 23-5.75.
Tyler Dye - Lawrence - Dye turned in respectable marks in the horizontal jumps, but really made is hay in the javelin this weekend. He threw 185-10, a nearly 19 foot personal best, at the Free State Early Bird.
Noah Holthusen - Bishop Carroll - Holthusen leads the state in the early-goings with this 39.19 personal best in the 300m hurdles. He also ran 15.10 in the 110m Hurdles, both at the Newton Invitational.
DeJuan Colbert - Wichita Southeast - Guthridge may have stolen the show in the 100 meter dash at the SE Varsity Invitational, but that did not stop reigning 6A runner-up DeJuan Colbert from running a new personal best of his own: 10.42. He also won the 200 meter dash there in 23.01.
Joey Goodenow - St. Thomas Aquinas - St. Thomas Aquinas features two athletes in our poll this week. Goodenow swept the shot put and discus at March Trackness, throwing a foot and a half outdoor personal best in the shot put of 58-10 and opening up his season with a 167-7 mark in the discus.
