Brunswick High School’s David Slovenski has been honored as the Gatorade Maine Boys Track and Field Athlete of the Year.

The award recognizes Slovenski’s achievements in track and field and academics.

Slovenski broke the New England high school record in the pole vault, clearing 16 feet, 9 inches at last weekend’s championships in Saco, putting him eighth in the nation at the time of his selection.

Slovenski, who has maintained an A average, established a state record of 16-0 at the Class A state championships earlier this month.
