Not often do we see this, but we have a repeat winner for the girls track award. Ty'Asia Dansbury of Harrisburg may have missed out on 100 meter gold at her home Pan Ram Invitational, but she did win the 200 meter dash in a state leading 24.66 to go with her 12.05 100 and 58.17 400 meter performances. For another impressive triple, Dansbury keeps the athlete of the week award.

For recording the 3rd best javelin throw in the history of PA high school track and field, Madison Wiltrout of Connellsville is the girls field athlete of the week. Her mark of 164-11 is the 2nd best mark in the country this season and it is 13 feet better than her state championship winning mark of 151-1 last May. It is the best javelin throw since co-state record holder Allison Updike of Tamaqua threw 167-2 nearly five years ago!
