Bonney Lake High cross country runner Brock Frame was honored as an Athlete of the Week by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association. The announcement was made Oct. 7.

Each week throughout the school year, the WIAA recognizes 12 varsity athletes, a male and a female from each of the six classifications, who exhibited an outstanding performance for the previous week.

Frame, a senior, has consistently led the undefeated Panther pack this season. Prior to being honored by the WIAA he had clocked a time of 16:03 at Isaac Evans Park to lead BLHS past South Puget Sound League 3A foe Auburn Mountainview. On the day of the WIAA announcement, Frame ran the Game Farm Park course in 17:01, taking individual honors during the Panthers’ double-dual victory over the Lakes Lancers and host Auburn High.

Frame’s selection marked the second week in a row a student-athlete from the Sumner School District was honored by the WIAA. Seven days earlier, Sumner High soccer player Jaylin Borden was among the state picks.

In recognition of their accomplishment, each Athlete of the Week receives a congratulatory letter from WIAA Executive Director Mike Colbrese, a commemorative WIAA State Athlete of the Week T-shirt and a certificate.
