The Rahll Activity Center Male Athlete of the Week is Jaron Schriber. Schriber is a senior on the Dalhart Golden Wolves track and field team, and this is his first time to be named athlete of the week this year, although he has been named in previous years as well.
Schriber has been one of Dalhart’s top long-distance runners for his entire time in high school. He was one of the best cross country runners each fall, including this year when he helped lead the team to Regional. Schriber has also been Dalhart’s best male long-distance runner in track, and has medaled in all three of the longer distance races in nearly every meet this season.
Schriber placed second in the 800-meter run and third in both the 1600 and 3200 at district, which allowed him to compete in all three events last week at the Area meet on April 10. He placed second this time in the 3200-meter run with a time of 10 minutes 34.48 seconds. Schriber then place fourth in both the 800-meter run and the 1600-meter run, which qualified him to move on to Regional in all three events.
Schriber was scheduled to run in the 3200 yesterday, Friday April 18, at the Regional meet in Abilene, and will run in both the 800 and 1600 today, April 19. If he can place in the top two in any of the races, or if he is the fastest third-place runner out of the four regions, he’ll qualify to run at the State meet on May 1. No matter what happens at Regional though, Schriber has capped off a great high school career.
