On Tuesday of each week, KYtrackXC.com will release the Male and Female “Athlete of the Week” Awardees. This award is based on primarily performances from the past week. Keep in mind, this means that the awards will not necessarily be based on having the best overall performance in the state, but, for example, a big PR for the previous week would make an athlete a candidate. All athletes throughout the state are eligible.
This week’s awardees are based on the first two weeks of the season. Both hail from the largest city in the state, Louisville.
