Christian Myers, Adele Adjmi Win MileSplit LA POTW!

CHRISTIAN MYERS COMES THROUGH THE LINE AT THE SJA INVITE EARLIER THIS YEAR

Congratulations to Metairie Park Country Day's  Christian Myers and Ben Franklin's Adele Adjmi. They are this week's MileSplit LA Performer Of The Week. Both runners will move on to compete for MileSplit LA XC Runner Of The Year at the end of the season.

Myers won the boys' poll garnering 2,111 votes, or 42.24%. Ajmi was the top vote-getting girl. She had 1,611 votes.

Isidore Newman runners were the runner-ups in both the girls' and boys' division. Elise Barnett was the runner-up on the girls' side with 464 votes. Maslen L'Esperance finished second in the boys' race with 412 votes.

Myers is coming off of a win at last week's Northshore Metro Championships where he won with a personal record time of 15:08. That time is over a minute faster than his fourth-place finish in the same race a year ago.

Now, Myers prepares for Thursday's D4-Region 3 Meet where he was the runner-up to Lafayette Christian's Talan Sievers in 2023. Sievers, a sophomore, is the defending LHSAA D4 champion.

Adjmi made the poll by being the runner-up at the Jack Schommer Invitational. She is also ranked No. 8 among all freshmen girls in Louisiana.

She will now get ready for Friday's D1-Region 3 Meet at New Orleans City Park on Friday.
