Daegan Steinlage

Just like our girl’s athlete of the week our boy’s selection this week is coming off another strong week in field events.

Centralia senior Daegan Steinlage has put together a strong final season to this point which last week included a pair of wins in the shot put and discus at the Washington County Invitational.

After the wins last week, he has now won every shot put and discus title in each local meet he has competed in this season.

Last season Steinlage shined all the way to the state meet in Wichita, where he took fourth place in both events in Class 1A. It marked the second straight season Steinlage has placed in the discus at state, as his sophomore season he finished 11th in the competition.

Steinlage will look to continue his success with just two more meets remaining in the regular season and make a repeat trip back to Wichita and improve on his finish at the state meet.
