Siegel Athlete of the Week
Siuslaw Track and Field standout Mikaela Siegel is Coast Radio Sports’ Athlete of the Week. The Viking hurdler and horizontal jumper set yet another school record in the 100 meter hurdles; 15.76 seconds; to finish 2nd at the Wally Ciochetti (chuh-KEH-tee) Invitational. She also won both hurdles and the long jump at the Marshfield “Last Chance” meet last week.
Honorable mention… Hannaleah Jakobsen. The sophomore won the javelin at the “Last Chance” with a throw of 102-feet; 6-inches.
