Narrative:
A cherokee was instructed to taxi into position and hold on runway 11L. An air carrier rolled out on runway 11L, was issued exiting instructions. After the aircraft exited, the cherokee was cleared for takeoff on runway 11L. A DV20, who landed on runway 11R, was instructed to make a 180 degree and taxi back via runway 11R. I was attending to other position duties when I looked up to realize the cherokee had taxied off runway 11L, departed runway 11R and was nearing rotation speed. I advised the DV20 of the cherokee, the DV20 steered to the right side of runway 11R, the cherokee rotated approximately 100 ft before DV20.
