Track Athlete of the Week
David Helms / JR / Lancaster Bible College / Lancaster, Pa. / Lampeter-Strasburg
Helms continues to dominate in the track space, competing in three different events this weekend at the PLEX shootout hosted by Alvernia. The junior topped the field of 33 runners in the 3K with a time of 8:57.72 which was just a few seconds off of his personal best set earlier this year. He would then set a PR in the 800-meter as his time of 24:04.09 edged out the conference lead by under .5 seconds. Helms capped the day as the final leg of the DMR, helping set a new school record in the process.
This is Helms' fifth weekly accolade of the year and his seventh of his career (1/27/26, 1/20/26, 1/13/26, 12/09/25, 02/11/25, 01/28/25).
