Isaac Strong
Orem Tigers
Sport: Baseball
Class: Senior
Position: Outfield
The numbers: Strong has done an excellent job of igniting the Tigers' offense this season by doing what lead-off hitters are supposed to do — get on base. He's batting .444 and has an on-base percentage of .500. While he's only walked five times in 50 at-bats, he has only struck out three times. He's also stolen five bases and has played an errorless left field. In Orem's win over Springville last week he went 4-4 and knocked in two runs. "He's adjusted his swing to facilitate more ground balls to take advantage of his speed," coach Gary Miner said. "He's a great contact hitter."
Jessie Bench
Springville Red Devils
Sport: Track
Class: Senior
Events: Sprints
The numbers: As one of Springville's team captains, Bench is leading by example. So far this year, she's ran a 12.9-second 100 meters, a 26.4 200 meters and a 58.8 400-meters. She also runs a leg on the Red Devils' 4x100 relay team, which hasn't lost a race this season and is ranked No. 1 in Class 4A. Bench also runs a leg for Springville's 4x400 relay team, which is also ranked tops at the 4A level. "She's a senior who has run all three years for us and is one of the most dependable sprinters," coach Jeff Wales said. "She also carries a 4.0 GPA and she can out-fish any boy on our team."
