The Wells brothers: Austin, left, and Carson, right, are two reasons why Bishop Gorman baseball is off to a 17-4 start this season. Austin is a slugging catcher who is batting .500 this season with a team-high 21 walks and 14 doubles. Carson is a speedy center fielder who leads the team in runs (29), hits (28) and stolen bases (10). Together, they hope to deliver Gorman its first baseball state championship since 2015.
Liberty senior Gabby Carson is one of the best high school pole vaulters in the country. She cleared 13 feet at a track and field meet last month, and the height is the seventh best, nationally. Carson didn’t start pole vaulting until her freshman year of high school, and improved by more than a foot in each of her first three years of track and field. She finished second in the pole vault at the Class 4A state meet last year, and is the front-runner to win this year’s state title. She is considering a collegiate track and field career at Oklahoma, New Mexico or Eastern Washington.
