Carthage long-distance runner Henry Laytham and Carl Junction soccer player Ella Anderson have been named the Zimmer Marketing Male and Female Athletes of the Week brought to you by JL Mobile Truck and Trailer Repair.
Laytham, a sophomore, won the boys 800 at the Joplin Invitational in a time of one minute, 56.91 seconds. He added a win in the 1600m later in a time of 4:39.71
“Henry is a great athlete as well as one of the hardest-working and kindest individuals I have had the privilege to coach,” Carthage coach Braden McBride said.
Anderson, a junior, had a game to remember last week against McDonald County when she scored five goals in an 8-0 win. Anderson scored all of her goals in the first half with the first coming four minutes into the game and the last touching the net in the 32nd minute.
