Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week eight of the spring sports season, sponsored by Edward Jones-Craig Holtzen.


Delaney Wright, Junior, Track and Field

It was quite the day for Louisburg junior Delaney Wright last Thursday at the Frontier League Invitational as she won two league titles and broke a school record. In the 400-meter dash, Wright ran a time of 58.76 seconds – to not only win the event – but broke her own school record in the process. Wright also won a league title in the long jump with a mark of 17 feet, 8.75 inches, which was less than two inches away from the league record.

Later on in the day, Wright went on to finish third in the 200-meter dash. Throughout the season, Wright has broken the school record in all three events and has beaten the mark in the long jump and 400 dash on multiple occasions.
