Week 10 Athlete of the Week: Cooper Wingfield

Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week 10 of the spring sports season, sponsored by Landmark National Bank.

COOPER WINGFIELD, SENIOR, TRACK AND FIELD

Louisburg senior Cooper Wingfield made history at the Class 4A Kansas State Track and Field Championships on May 30. Wingfield defended his state crown as he won back-to-back state titles in the pole vault after he cleared 15 feet, 6 inches. It was a special season that included, not only another state title, but also broke his own school record at the KU Relays earlier in the season at 15-7.75.

Wingfield has been a fixture in the Class 4A state pole vaulting competition as he won state titles the last two years and was a state runner-up as a sophomore. Louisburg has won the state title in the pole vault the last four years with Caden Caplinger winning the other two.

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.
