Keep this up, and they’ll be calling it the Syvone Anderson Invitational.

The Maryville High School junior ran, hurdled and jumped her way to a slam dunk selection as the Aubrey’s/Blount Press Row Player of the Week for the week ending April 21.

Anderson captured three individual firsts and ran lead out on the Lady Rebels’ winning 4×200-meter relay at the Blount County Track and Field Championships last Tuesday at William Blount. The versatile Anderson ran to first-place finishes in the 200 meters (26.88 seconds) and 100 hurdles (15.61), adding a winning leap of 36 feet in the triple jump. Michaela Buchanan, Molly Crawford, Nicole Elmore and Anderson posted a best time of 1 minute, 52.02 seconds in the 800 relay.
