Kenondra Davis - Fort Worth Trimble Tech
The Desoto High School - Nike Invitational is responsible for some of the top performances year in and year out. this season is no different. The 2018 UIL 5A 100m and 200m Kenondra Davis from Fort Worth Trimble Tech had herself quite a day.
She ran two superb races with her 11.59 and 23.54 times to bolt towards the top of the state rankings in both events. Davis sits at the #2 spot in the girls 100m rankings and currently has the fastest 200m time in Texas. To get her two wins, Davis had to take down DeSoto studs in both events to get the wins.
Cynthia Emeremnu - Laredo Alexander
Laredo Alexander senior Cynthia Emeremnu has been tearing it up for weeks down in the valley. This weekend, she cranked things up a notch by adding three wins to her season total. Emeremnu won the 100m with a 12.24 and then hit the track again in the 200m to drop a 25.4 to take her second sprint win of
meet at the 6th Annual McAllen ISD. The field is where she picked up her third win. A 17-6.25 jump in the long jump gave Emermnu her third win of the day.
Caleb Boger - Mesquite
The University of Houston signee Caleb Boger also picked up two wins at DeSoto.
Boger won two sprints events with his 10.65 100m time and then he stepped up to the 400m and busted a 49.33 to take the W in that event as well.
The Mesquite senior is off to a good start to the 2019 season and making it know he is expanding his range beyond just the 4x400 relay.
Robert Withmarsh - Freeport Brazoswood
Whitmarsh is a name you might not know yet, but you soon will. The Brazoswood middle distance runner showcased his 2019 fitness with two impressive wins at the Clear Falls Knight Relays.
Whitmarsh dropped two PRs right out of the gate as he busted a 49.64 in the 400m and then a 1:56.90 in the 800m. The sky is the limit for this young runner and we'll possibly be hearing more about him.
