Jenna Mertz has once again been named the Warrior Watch’s Female Athlete of the Week for the week of 05/16/2021. She was chosen for her performance in last week’s ICC track and field meet. Jenna placed first in both of her individual events: the 100-meter dash and the 400-meter dash. She was also able to help the 4 x 400-meter relay team capture a first-place victory at the ICC meet and break the school record.
One of Jenna’s teammates in the 4 x 400-meter relay, Madison Kephart, said, “Jenna is a good athlete and she is a key part of our team for the 4 x 400. We are really excited to compete together at districts this year.”
