Girls Athlete of the Week: Amanda Kimbers, McDonogh, track and field
The junior enjoyed a banner week, capturing eight first places in helping the Eagles defeat Seton Keough in a dual meet Wednesday and then win Saturday's Clash of the Titans Invitational at New Town. On Wednesday, Kimbers took the 100 meters in 11.9 seconds, tying a school record, and also won the long jump (18 feet, 1 3/4 inches) and high jump (5 feet). In addition, she anchored the winning 800-meter relay team. With the team victory, the Eagles have a five-year dual-meet winning streak. On Saturday, Kimbers won the 100, 200 and high jump (school- and meet-record 18-4) and anchored the winning 400-meter relay team. Kimbers, who also plays field hockey and was a team captain in the fall, is undefeated this spring in the 100, 200 and long jump.
