The outdoor track and field season started off well for Alaska Anchorage senior and Alpine High School graduate Elena Cano, who used an NCAA Championships provisional qualifying performance in the hurdles to earn Great Northwest Athletic Conference Women’s Track Athlete of the Week honors. She won the 400-meter hurdles at the Hornet Invitational in Sacramento, Calif., last week, and placed second in the 100-meter hurdles and fifth in the long jump, and ran on the Seawolves’ second-place 4x400-meter relay team.

Alpine High School sophomore Madalyn Warren qualified for State in powerlifting via the total weight that she lifted at the Regional Meet in Shamrock. She placed third at the competition. At Regional she squatted 305, bench pressed 165, and deadlift 330 for a total of 800 lbs. That automatically qualified her for state in Corpus Christi. She was in the 148 lb. weight class.
