Our Pro Wire Athletes of the Week for April 12 are Vandalia Boys track junior sprinter Kohnor Depew, Vandalia girls track sprinter Sophie Bowers, CHBC Girls track thrower Kyleigh Wallace and Vandalia softball pitcher/infielder Madison Lupton.
Depew broke his second school record in a week, this time surpassing the 100m record with a time of 11.27 seconds at Tuesday’s meet at Gillespie. That broke the previous mark of 11.44 seconds that was set nearly 40 years ago and then tied twice since then by Matt Roberts (1986), Mark Oertwig (1989) and Case Goldsmith (2021).
Bowers broke the decade old 100m Dash mark with a 12.70 second performance during Vandalia’s meet at Gillespie on Tuesday. That broke the previous record of 12.74 seconds that had been set by Emma Meyer in 2015.
Wallace now owns both girls Throws records for CHBC as she had a best throw of 35’ 9.5” in the Shot Put at Tuesday’s Altamont Open to surpass the previous record of 35’ 1” that was held by Kristina Nugent.
Lupton had a monster week at the plate for the Lady Vandals as she went 10 for 15 on the week with 3 home runs, 2 triples, a double and 12 RBI.
