Each week throughout the school year, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) recognizes twelve varsity athletes, a male and a female from each of the six classifications, who exhibited an outstanding performance for the previous week.

Juanita High School junior Kristina Warford was nominated by a community member and selected by WIAA staff as one of the Athletes of the Week for achievements in Softball.

Warford led the way for her team in three conference games last week, going 7-for-9 including a home run and a double. She tallied six walks, eight RBI and scored seven runs. The shortstop also posted a 1.000 percent in the field.

In recognition of their accomplishment, each Athlete of the Week winner receives a congratulatory letter from WIAA Executive Director, Mike Colbrese, a commemorative WIAA State Athlete of the Week t-shirt, and a certificate. Winners are also posted to the WIAA website at www.wiaa.com
