Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week: Connor Kachmarik, Kherington Adams

Butte Central eight graders Connor Kachmarik and Kherington Adams are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come after the young Maroons ran to titles at the 86^th running of the Veterans Day Race in Butte.

Kachmarik takes home the boys’ honor after winning the 14-and-under male division in the 2.5-mile race. Kachmarik, 14, finished the course in 19 minutes, 36.5 seconds, a time that was good for second overall among male runners.

Adams, 13, receives the girls’ honor after finishing the course in 19:50 to win the 14-and-under title in the 2.5-mile race. She was also the overall female winner.

Leskovar Honda, home of the 20-year, 200,000-mile warranty, teamed up with the ButteCast to honor the finest athletes from the Mining City in an effort to encourage more children to get up, get out and try all kinds of sports and activities.
