MVP, Week 7, Madison Barker, Ladue Track and Field
The junior sprinter blew away the field in voting for this week's honors.
This week's Patch MVP vote was not close. Madison Barker, a junior from Ladue High School took top prize, based on the strength of two district titles in the 200 and 400 meter dash, and in helping the Rams' 4x100meter and 4x400meter relay squads qualify for the state sectional track meet held this past weekend.
She answered some of our questions by email before the sectional meet.
