Girls Athlete of the Week: Sarah Bowman


Two of AA\'s best distance runners, Fauquier\'s Sarah Bowman (AA #1 ranked) and Warren County\'s Emily Harrison (AA #2 ranked) did battle in Winchester at the Judges Classic last Saturday as it was Bowman who turned out to be the victor with her stellar time of 19:06 on the challenging John Handley home course over Harrison, who was clocked at 19:38. Bowman, earning athlete of the week honors, looks to be the odds-on favorite to win the AA state title unless Harrison or Western Albemarle\'s Jessica Fanning (ranked #3 in AA) can make a late season move after the talented sophomore.
