Liam Paneque voted Boys Winter Track and Field Performer of the Week of Jan. 22-28

After four days of voting, Demarest sophomore Liam Paneque was selected as the North Jersey Boys Winter Track and Field Performer of the Week.

One of the top 10th grade jumpers in the country this winter, he led all long jumpers in the Bergen Relays by nearly a foot. Paneque also ran a leg on the winning shuttle hurdles team that won the overall title and qualified for the Nike indoor Nationals championship race.

Here were the other nominees:

Matt Aono

Ridgewood senior

Matt won the Alan Wedemeier Award at the Bergen County Relays after jumping a meet best 14 feet in the pole vault, running a leg on the winning 4-x-400 team and running legs on the second place shuttle hurdles and 4-x-200 teams.

Nathan Caldwell

Lakeland senior

Lakeland finished third at the Passaic County championships after a strong three event effort from Caldwell, who had quality performances in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters, scoring 14 points.

Trashon Dye

Passaic Tech junior

After dabbling in indoor track last winter, the Bulldog football star has gone all-in this season, winning the long jump at the Passaic County championships with a county-leading jump, and medaling in the triple jump and 200 meters.

Allan Hilton-Clarke

Bergen Catholic senior

Hilton-Clarke had the meet's longest triple jump (and the best in North Jersey this year), tied for the top high jump and the second best long jump in the meet and won three divisional gold medals and a silver as the Crusaders won the Non-Public division.

Tadael Mihret

Rutherford senior

Mihret led the Bulldogs to their first ever NJIC boys title, winning the 1,600, taking second in the 3,200 and fourth in the 800 to lead his team with 24 points.

Joshua Yoon

He made a belated indoor debut and showed he is completely recovered from the injury that cut his spring short in early May, 2022, winning the 55, long jump and triple jump at the NJIC championships, setting a meet record in the long jump and jumping an area seasonal best in the triple jump.
