Spring return of Athlete of the Week a hit

BUCYRUS - Last week we had our closest vote EVER for the Female Athlete of the Week. Crestline's Lillian Higgins edged out Buckeye Central's Grace Collene by a mere nine votes as Higgins garnered 39.71% to Collene's 39.36%.

It also had more votes than the previous five weeks COMBINED — thank you all for participating! This wraps up polls for the spring season but keep an eye out for plenty of fun content over the summer including the highly anticipated Crawford 100 returning athletes and Crawford 15 returning teams.

And of course, this will resume in the fall with plenty more weekly athletes to be crowned!

Congratulations to each of our winners this spring:

Week 1: Crestline's Brayden Winemiller, Male Athlete of the Week (392 of 755 votes)

Week 2: Galion's Miranda Stone, Female Athlete of the Week (221 of 611 votes)

Week 3: Buckeye Central's Isaac Hiler, Male Athlete of the Week (174 of 315 votes)

Week 4: Buckeye Central's Olivia Bishop, Female Athlete of the Week (222 of 278 votes)

Week 5: Galion's Kael Longwell, Male Athlete of the Week (288 of 423 votes)

Week 6: Crestline's Lillian Higgins, Female Athlete of the Week (1,019 of 2,566 votes)
