Week 9 Athlete of the Week: Jerynce Brings Plenty

Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week nine of the spring sports season, sponsored by Dr. Laura’s Orthodontics.

JERYNCE BRINGS PLENTY, SOPHOMORE, TRACK AND FIELD

Louisburg sophomore Jerynce Brings Plenty will be plenty busy at this weekend’s state track and field meet, all thanks to the work he did last Friday at the Class 4A regional meet. Brings Plenty qualified for state in three events and won a regional title in the 1,600-meter run in 4 minutes and 36 seconds.

Brings Plenty nearly broke a school record in his other individual event — the 3,200-meter run. He took third in 9:50.70, which nearly surpassed the school record of 9:50.60. He also teamed up with Hunter Heinrich, Colton Blue and Blaise Vohs to qualify in the 4×800-meter relay with a season-best time of 8:22.

The athlete of the week award is announced every Wednesday morning during the spring season and the winner is selected by Louisburg Sports Zone with the help of nominations from coaches.
