It has been since the fall of 2004 that MileStat.com has awarded weekly athletes of the week honors, but we will be restarting giving out that weekly honor this week with awarding two of private schools top athletes in Fork Union\'s Brandon Caleb and St. Catherine\'s Katie Doswell winning the distinguished honor after helping lead their respective teams to Prep League and LIS Championships this past Saturday at St Christopher\'s in Richmond.
Brandon Caleb, sr, Fork Union
One of the best athletes to come through Winston Brown\'s program at FUMA, Caleb shined at the Prep League Championships as he won three individual events in the long jump (21\'9\"), triple jump (46\'5\"), and 55 meter hurdles (7.72) to help his team to a runaway team title. His mark in the triple jump ranks him third in the state was a personal best for the Fork Union senior.
Katie Doswell, sr., St. Catherine\'s
The current state leader in the 1600 and 1000 meter run, Katie Doswell showed the definition of a true competitor at Saturday\'s LIS Championships. Saturday morning Doswell got in a scary car accident in which she hit a telephone pole. She suffered cuts to the face in the accident (most likely from airbag deployment) and the first thing she asked the fireman who arrived on the scene was \"Can I still run?\" Later that day she would run as she stepped on the track with a bandage on her face to run the 3200 meter race. Doswell won the race in an uncontested 11:17.12. While it was off her personal best time in the event, it was one of the more inspirational races this track spectator has seen in a while.
