Section XI Debuts Athletes of the Week
Section XI is debuting a new “Athletes of the Week” program where each week during the school year we will honor a top male and female athlete.
Nominees are submitted by school district athletic directors.
This week we’re honoring Jared Trefney from Half Hollow Hills East High School, and Nicole Leslie from Huntington High School.
Female Athlete of the Week: Nicole Leslie, Huntington

Leslie recorded a double-double in a win over Centereach and a loss against North Babylon.
She had 17 points, 12 rebounds and 5 steals against Centereach, and 17 points, 13 rebounds and 4 steals against the Bulldogs.
Leslie has worked extremely hard over the past few years to reach this personal best and has grown into a strong leader for Huntington hoops.
Male Athlete of the Week: Jared Trefney, Hills East
Just days after spraining his ankle, Trefney won the 55-meter race at the Millrose Games Trials in 6.53 seconds.
This win officially qualified for him for Millrose Games on February 3 at The Armory.
