Poll results: Bellefonte track and field relay team named Centre County athletes of the week
Members of a Bellefonte track and field relay team are the Centre County athletes of the week for May 6-12, as selected by readers of CentreDaily.com.
The Bellefonte 4x800m relay team broke their own school record at the Mountain Lion Classic. The group — made up of Caleb Vinnedge, Kaiden Williams, Grady Garrison and Alex Crist — helped the boys’ team win the AA title at the invitational.
They had 114 votes in the poll, or 49%.
Below is a look at the other nominees:
Nick Gillespie, Penns Valley baseball: Penns Valley’s Nick Gillespie knocked in three runs in a come-from-behind win over Bellwood-Antis, helping the Rams win two of their three games. Gillespie batted .500 over those three games.
Abby Stitzer, Penns Valley track and field: Penns Valley’s Abby Stitzer set a new Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference track and field meet record in the 800m with a time of 2:20.09. The Clarion commit for soccer also finished second in the 400 meters.
She came in second place in the poll, with 102 votes (44%).
