Our Pro Wire Athletes of the Week for the week of May 2 are Vandalia track senior Kohnor Depew and Altamont track senior Jacob Veteto.
Depew has already solidified his spot in the VCHS track record books with his name on four records but has further raised the bar on his individual records in two sprint events. In his first 200m Dash race of the season, Depew ran a time of 21.94 seconds to beat his own record set last year of 22.15 at the IHSA State Finals. Then this past Tuesday, Depew ran the 100m Dash in 10.84 seconds at the Vandals last home meet of the season to lower how own record of 10.86 set during last years Sectional Meet. His current best 100 time on the season puts him ranked #9 in Class 1A and his 200 time has him ranked at #6 in Class 1A.
Veteto, jumping in just his second outdoor meet of the season, had his meet of the season vaulting a height of 15’ at the Robinson Coach Cork Invite on April 24. That mark shattered the Altamont school record in the event that was set at 14’ 9” by Tim Moore back in 2019. The mark was Veteto’s best vault since his 14’ 10” performance at the National Trail Conference Meet on May 6, 2025. Veteto currently has the #2 mark for Pole Vault in Class 1A for the season and is one of just 15 vaulters across all three classes in the state to reach the 15’ mark on the season.
