Robert Walker has been chosen as the Warrior Watch Athlete of the Week for the week ending 04/05/2025. At a recent meet in Mount Union, Walker won first place in the 300 hurdles, long jump, and triple jump events. These wins earned the boys’ team 15 points, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to secure the win against the Trojans.

Walker is in his fourth year of track and field, and he is one of only two seniors on the boys’ team. So far this season, Walker is leading the boys’ team in total points, with 52 points contributed. Coach Adam Carr states, “Robert is our current boy’s points leader. Robert has really improved his triple jump and 300 hurdles. Robert strives to improve every meet and is on his way to having an MVP season.”
