Week 8 Athlete of the Week: Truman Ellison

Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week eight of the fall sports season, sponsored by IronHorse Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.

TRUMAN ELLISON, SOPHOMORE, CROSS COUNTRY

Louisburg sophomore Truman Ellison put together one of his better races of the season Saturday and picked the perfect time to do it. At the Class 4A regional meet on Saturday at Blue Valley Southwest, Ellison qualified for the state cross country meet as he took 14th overall with a time of 18 minutes and 2 seconds. He will join teammate Levi Cotter at state, who also qualified with a top 15 finish.

Ellison has medaled in several meets this season for the Wildcats and will try to do the same this Saturday when both Wildcats runners will travel to Wamego for the Class 4A state meet.
