Bleeding Bruin Blue Athlete of the Week, October 5-11

There are weeks where choosing this award is difficult because there are many good choices. This week, the Bruins did fairly well overall, save a couple of sectional slip-ups, but not very many people had dominating performances. Due to this, the Athlete of the Week comes from an unlikely source: the middle school. (I've used that line before. I know it.) In sort of a 1979 Phil Niekro-esque fashion, the Bleeding Bruin Blue Athlete of the Week for October 5-11 goes to eighth grade cross country runner Jesse Bontreger.

Eligibility: As four weeks have elapsed since his AOW win on September 14, senior Jordan Weaver becomes eligible again next week. Literally all Bruins in a position to win any high school athletic letter (varsity, JV or freshman) during the current season, and their middle school counterparts, are eligible. The only exceptions are winners from the last four weeks: Bontreger, junior Mikey Kelly, senior Daniel Buschert, and senior Hannah Grieser.

Next Week: Next week's nominations will be due Sunday, October 19, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. As I said several weeks ago, the first person to correctly name how I determined the times will get mentioned in a future post. 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. (You can even include the quotes if you want.) 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. SeƱor Loco reserves the right to ignore e-mails with unnecessarily vulgar sections.
