Your West Central Heat Athlete of the Week is freshman softball player, Megan Schaley. Megan’s bat is starting to heat up for head coach, Scott Swiler.

Your A-Town Tornado Athlete of the Week is junior baseball player, Gavin Waters. Gavin was a big contributor to a recent 4-game winning streak for the Tornadoes. He had a pair of pitching wins and has tossed in a save for good measure as well. During the streak, he has thrown 13 innings, giving up only 1 earned run on just 8 hits. Gavin has struck out 23 batters during that span.

Your Galesburg Silver Streak Athlete of the Week is senior girls track and field athlete, Emily Meinert. Emily was busy racking up top-2 finishes at the recent Silver Streak Invitational.
