SB'S TRINITY SPOONER GETS READY TO UNLEASH A BIG THROW AT THE BARBE BUC RELAYS
You have to be very careful with this ballot after Week No. 3 of the La. HS outdoor season. We have two Trinitys. Well, a Trinity (Spooner) and a Trenati (Pitre)...close enough. As if that is not bad enough, we have two athletes with Simon for a last name (Alana and Quincy). Like all MileSplit LA Performer of the Week Polls, this one will close at 9pm on Saturday. The winner will move on to compete for MileSplit LA Athlete of the Month.
