This week’s Orange Panther of the Week is freshman sprinter Jarmil Wingate. On April 18, Wingate broke the school record in the 200 meters with a time of 26.34 seconds. Wingate has also won the 100 meter dash in five of Orange’s meets this season. In the senior day meet against Cedar Ridge and Southern Durham, Wingate claimed the 100 with a time of 12.94 seconds. Last week at the Big 8 Championships at Southern Durham High, Wingate finished 4th in the 100. Last winter, Wingate was a starter on the Orange women’s basketball team that won 19 games and finished 2nd in the Big 8 Conference. Wingate still has three years of high school remaining and aims to break the school record in the 100 meter dash before it’s all over.
