High School Athletes of the Week


Taylor Hynes

•SCHOOL: Lee’s Summit North

•YEAR: Sophomore

•SPORT: Cross Country

Hynes outran a field of more than 200 runners Saturday in winning the girls 5K race at the highly competitive KC Metro Cross Country Championships. Hynes finished the course at Raymore-Peculiar Middle School in a time of 18 minutes, 22 seconds and has made quite an impression this season. “I think it establishes her as one of the top runners in Kansas City — there’s no way around it,” LS North coach Gary Kruger said.

Maksim Korolev

•SCHOOL: Harrisonville

•YEAR: Junior

•SPORT: Cross country

Since the KC Metro meet has been held at the middle school, there has never been a runner who has finished the course in 15 minutes, 36 seconds. That is until Saturday, when Korolev ran the record-setting time in winning the boys division. Already this season, Korolev has set course records and won nearly every meet he’s competed in. His victory, though, in the KC Metro meet ranks high since the event is largely considered a prelude to the Missouri state meet.
