Performance of the Week: Lawton's Mason Mayne
April 25, 2024
Mason Mayne ♦ Lawton
Junior ♦ Track & Field
The 6-foot-3, 275-pound two-way lineman is a sizable presence on the football field building toward a possible a big-time future in that sport – and he also dominates in the throws pit during track & field season. He’s undefeated in the shot put and discus this spring and won both at last Friday’s Comstock Invitational, tossing the shot 54 feet, 11 inches, and the discus 171-9.
Mayne finished second in shot put and third in discus at the Lower Peninsula Division 3 Finals last spring, and his top throws this season – 60-3 in shot and 175-4 in discus – are the farthest in the state, regardless of division. He also carries a grade-point average above 4.00 and has received several Division I football scholarship offers including opportunities to play for multiple Ivy League schools and U.S military academies.

Performance of the Week: Menominee's Brady Schultz
May 20, 2022
Brady Schultz ♦ Menominee
Track & Field ♦ Senior
Schultz high-jumped 6 feet, 9 inches, during a meet against Marinette, Wis., on May 9, breaking the Menominee school record and tying the top high jump posted by a Michigan high school athlete this season. He previously had tied the school record at 6-8 – registering that height in winning last season’s Upper Peninsula Division 1 Final – and he’s undefeated in the event this spring including winning at his Regional on Thursday at Marquette. He also ran on the winning 800-meter relay at the Regional.
The 6-foot-6 forward was among leading scorers for the Maroons basketball team that finished runner-up in Division 3 in March, and dropped a team-high 19 points in the championship game against Schoolcraft. He played football as well, and intends to continue high-jumping at the college level and he continues to consider those options.
