As the winter season is slowly coming to an end, athletes are still performing to their best ability and deserve to be nominated Athlete of the Week. The Spartan Defender staff spends a lot of time deliberating about who should be our next outstanding athlete.
Xavier Lopez is our athlete of week for the week of January 10 though the 14. Xavier is a senior at Sparta High School in the 2010-2011 school year and a wrestler on the Sparta Spartans wrestling team. He has been wrestling at Sparta High School for 4 years, and this is his second year on varsity.
Desiree Harr, a senior at Sparta High School explains, "I think Xavier is doing an awesome job wrestling this year, and he is improving a great amount." Harr goes on to explain, "It is exciting to see someone get as excited as he does about wrestling and I think that shows great dedication."
Tyler Skidmore, a junior at Sparta High School says, "I really enjoy watching wrestling. It is pretty obvious which kids have dedication to the sport and which kids are just going through the motions, even though i know that wrestlers are giving 110% effort all the time." Skidmore goes onto explain, "When Xavier wrestles, I know he is wrestling with dedication."
Congratulations Xavier and keep up the good work!
