Youngstown State's Grace, Milwaukee's Johnson, Laaro, and Hewett Claim #HLTF HonorsPublished by
INDIANAPOLIS – Milwaukee junior Simbi Laaro (Appleton, Wis.) and sophomore Marquis Johnson (Lac du Flambeau, Wis.) have named Horizon League Men’s and Women’s Runners of the Week while Milwaukee junior Sherice Hewett (Milwaukee, Wis.) and Youngstown State senior Bobby Grace (Middleburgh Heights, Ohio) have been named Horizon League Athletes of the Week for the period of Apr. 8-14. Laaro registered two individual first-place honors at the Billiken Invitational. In the 200-meter dash Laaro moved into third place in Milwaukee school history, crossing the finish line in 24.24 seconds. She followed that up by taking the top spot in the 100m with a time of 11.89 seconds, a personal best which ranks as the fifth best time in school history. Both times are second fastest in the League this season. Laaro also added a first-place finish in the 4x100-meter relay (46.91 seconds) and a second-place finish in the 4x400-meter relay (3:48.44). Johnson posted victories in the 400-meter dash and the 4x400-meter relay and also posted a fourth-place finish in the 200-meter dash. In the 200-meter, the Lac du Flambeau, Wis., native registered the third-fastest time in school history at 21.35 seconds. That mark is nearly .30 seconds clear of the second best time in the League this season. Johnson also won the 400-meter dash in 48.42 seconds, which also ranks as the fastest time in the League this season. In the 4x400-meter relay, the team’s time of 3:16.82 was nearly four seconds ahead of the rest of the field and stands as the fastest time in the League this year. Hewett registered the best mark in the League this season with a triple jump of 12.28 meters. The distance placed her second out of 15 competitors. She also placed third out of 15 competitors in the long jump with a mark of 5.45 meters, which stands as the fourth best mark in the League this season. Grace extended his League best distance in the shot put at the Tennessee Relays. His distance of 19.36 meters is 2.43 meters ahead of the second best throw in the League. His mark placed him first out of 31 competitors and stands as a personal best distance. Milwaukee is in action April 18-19 at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., and the Gateway Invite in Edwardsville, Ill., on April 19. Youngstown State competes next April 18-19 at the Jesse Owens Classic in Columbus, Ohio.
