KTGR is highlighting an outstanding local high school athlete each week!
This week features Father Tolton senior track runner Elyse Wilmes, who won the individual state title in the Class 4 800m and 1600m races at the state championships last weekend. Her times in those events were the fastest times across all five classes. Wilmes also anchored the Trailblazers’ 4x800m team that won another state title.
“Elyse is a tremendous encourager of her teammates and even her competitors,” said Tolton track and field coach Rebecca Wilmes. “Her positivity at practice and meet days is infectious. Her quiet confidence is a steadying force for others on completion day.”
Father Tolton girls track finished sixth in the Class 4 team standings last weekend.
