Hoke County track and field freshman London Barnes is Athlete of the Week.
Barnes lit it up at the Mid-South 7A/8A Conference Championships. She won the conference title in the 55-meter with a personal-best time of 7.51, winning by an 0.07 second margin. She also took first, with three teammates, in the 4×200 relay, beating the next closest team by more than two and a half seconds.
She also took silver in the 300, missing first by 0.19 seconds, and finished her day with a bronze in the long jump. Then she had to make still more room in her trophy case after the conference voted her the female field athlete of the year.
