Benjamin Gordon Sniffen, senior, Northampton

Won the 1,000-meter run at the Division 4 state championship and PVIAC championship … Placed second in 1,000 at All-States. … Ran on medal-winning relays at postseason meets.

“He’s been a performer his whole career. He had a real breakout freshman year, and each year our expectations got a little bit higher. Senior year, he had his sights set on winning. My whole thing was making sure his training was right where he needed it. Working with the kid, he’s impressively passionate about what he’s committing himself to do. It’s got a contagious flame to it working with the other athletes.” — Northampton coach Brandon Palmer.
