Two local youth athletes were among four presented Alabama State Games medals as Athletes of the Year recipients during a recent ceremony at the Alabama state capitol.
Zoe Sexton of Wicksburg, a 7-year-old who competed in the baton twirling competition at last year’s event held in the Wiregrass, and Josiah Williams, a 12-year-old track and field athlete from Opp, were joined by 68-year-old Tim Lawrence, who participated in pickleball, and 53-year old Elizabeth Johnson of Birmingham, who competed in swimming, as the honorees.
“We want to make these moments special for our Athletes of the Year,” Alabama State Games Founder Ron Creel said. “These individuals represent the Games and us throughout the year. “With the competition returning to Birmingham this summer, I look forward to seeing how these championed athletes, along with new competitors, fare in the 2023 Alabama State Games.”
