AIDAN FRIAS – BLITZ PICK

Rabun County senior vaulter Aidan Frias set a school record in the lone Wildcats’ meet last week. The previous mark of Logan James fell when Frias launched 13’5″ on the pole vault, earning a 1st-place finish at the Mt. Yonah Invite and his first BLITZ POW award.

SIMEON RESPRESS – BLITZ PICK

Simeon Respress is looking like a potential state champion with the numbers he is averaging this season. The Tallulah Falls senior jumper was 1st in the Providence Christian Easter Meet in both the High Jump and Long Jump. In the latter, he broke a 10-year old school record. He followed that with a 2nd-place finish in the HJ and LJ at the Georgia Spring Break Challenge at Marietta. This is Respress’ first POW award.
