GRINNELL, Iowa — The Midwest Conference (MWC) announced
its Performers of the Week award recipients for the week of December
2-8, 2019 on Monday.
MWC sports information directors nominate student-athletes for the
Performer of the Week honor by sport and winners are selected by the MWC
staff.
For the winter season, Performers of the Week will be recognized every
week on Monday (men’s and women’s basketball) and Tuesday (swimming
& diving, indoor track & field) once their seasons have been
triggered (three MWC institutions competing) and will conclude
the week prior to the sport-specific Conference
tournament/championship.
The Performers of the Week award winners are as follows:
