Myasia Jacobs of Paramus Catholic (N.J.) and Ronald Darby of Potomac (Md.) have been honored in this season’s third installment of Armory Athletes of the Week, presented by AT &T.

If there is a perfect way to earn a name for yourself, there couldn’t be one better than taking down on of the best quarter-milers in the country in a matchup that includes the biggest rivalry in New York City track and field. Sandrae Farquharson did both.
