Las Animas High School track and Field Athletes of the Week for the past two weeks are, from left, Alexis Vigil: “Alexis battled to perfect handoffs and PRed in both relays and individual events. Her efforts contributed to four of the teams’ 28 PRs last week. Great work Alexis; Essence Danner: “Essence has grown tremendously over the course of the season. She ran the 400 for the first time since the beginning of the season and made absolutely tremendous gains. Great work Essence!”; Kevin Nevland: “Kevin exploded as anchor of the 4x400 last weekend. He found a new gear and we hope he sticks with that fast gear all season.”; Gio Muniz-Lopez: “Gio fought through some aches and pains this week and learned a lot about what he is capable of even when he thinks he can’t. This lesson is a great one he can carry with him and all athletes can carry with them when they are done with athletics. Great work Gio!” SUSAN WARING
