Bleeding Bruin Blue Athlete of the Week, September 6-12

NOMINATE FOR MENNO LANDS MEMORIES or ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

The Bleeding Bruin Blue Athlete of the Week for September 6-12, with three goals and three assists in as many games, is sophomore Femi Hollinger-Janzen.

Eligibility: Literally all Bruins in a position to win any athletic letter (varsity, JV or freshman) during the current season are eligible. The only exceptions are recent winners: Hollinger-Janzen, Mikey Kelly, and Mandy Schlabach are ineligible for September 13-19.

Next Week: Nominations will be due Sunday, Sept. 20, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. To nominate someone, send an e-mail to senorloco1908@gmail.com and put "AOW nomination: [name of athlete ('athlete' is singular, not plural)]" in the subject line. The body of the message can be used for whatever you want. The three simple things that will disqualify a message are:

1. A subject line that reads "AOW nomination: [name of athlete ('athlete' is singular, not plural)]" without actually naming an athlete.
2. Anyone nominating multiple people will have only the last nomination counted.
3. Señor Loco reserves the right to ignore e-mails with unnecessarily vulgar sections.

Eligibility: Literally all Bruins in a position to win any athletic letter (varsity, JV or freshman) during the current season are eligible. The only exceptions are recent winners: Kelly, Mandy Schlabach and Emma Gerig are ineligible for September 6-12.

Next Week: Nominations will be due Sunday, Sept. 13, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. To nominate someone, send an e-mail to senorloco1908@gmail.com and put "AOW nomination: [name of athlete ('athlete' is singular, not plural)]" in the subject line. The body of the message can be used for whatever you want. The three simple things that will disqualify a message are:

1. A subject line that reads "AOW nomination: [name of athlete ('athlete' is singular, not plural)]" without actually naming an athlete.
2. Anyone nominating multiple people will have only the last nomination counted.
3. Señor Loco reserves the right to ignore e-mails with unnecessarily vulgar sections.
