PREP SPORTS: Holly Pond's Barnett named Athlete of the Week
May 3—Holly Pond's Travis Barnett is making a name for himself as a freshman.
The track and field standout won three golds at last week's Class 2A, Section 3 Meet in Fort Payne, sweeping the distance runs (800-meter, 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter) en route to helping the Broncos collect the team title. He also finished second in the 400-meter dash — setting a new personal best in that event and the 800-meter.
For those contributions, Barnett was named the Class 2A, Section 3 Meet MVP.
He is The Times' Athlete of the Week.
Athlete of the Week, which is sponsored by Mitch Smith Chevrolet, is open to all local athletes.
