Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athletes of the Week for week 10 of the spring sports season, sponsored by IronHorse Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.

MADDY CARPENTER-ROSS, JUNIOR, TRACK AND FIELD

Louisburg junior Maddy Carpenter-Ross made school history Friday during the Class 4A Kansas State Track and Field Championships in Wichita. Carpenter-Ross flew past the competition as she cleared 11 feet to win the 4A state crown. She didn’t miss an attempt until she tried for 11-6. Her clearance of 11 feet tied a personal best that she set a week prior to win a regional title.

CADEN CAPLINGER, JUNIOR, TRACK AND FIELD

Louisburg junior Caden Caplinger found himself in a battle with teammate Cooper Wingfield in the pole vault competition Friday as the Class 4A Kansas State Track and Field Championships in Wichita. Caplinger won his second consecutive state pole vault title after he cleared 15 feet. Wingfield finished second right behind him at 14-6.

Caplinger earned a second state medal in the 4×100-meter relay as he, along with Mason Dobbins, Colyer Wingfield and Ethan Ptacek medaled third at state to help give the Wildcats some big team points. As a team, the Louisburg boys finished as the state runner-up.
