Olentangy Liberty lacrosse player Corinna Hilmas is the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Athlete of the Week for June 2-8.
Hilmas scored the championship-winning goal in the Division I final as the Patriots defeated Upper Arlington 9-8 in double overtime. Hilmas had two goals on the day and four in a state semifinal win over Hudson.
Hilmas received 60% of the vote and was followed by Watterson lacrosse’s Drew Dunlap, who received 35%.
Dunlap scored a game-high four goals in the Division II state final, leading the Eagles to a 9-7 win over Wooster and their first state championship.
Also nominated were Hilliard Davidson distance runner Celia Schulte, DeSales lacrosse player Campbell Heald, Fairfield Union hurdler Chayse Lipscomb and Northridge hurdler Isabel Evans.
The Athlete of the Week voting recognizes athletes across all sports.
Nominations are due Monday mornings for competitions that took place the previous week. The poll is live until 4 p.m. Fridays.
Anyone can nominate an athlete by email to bwhite1@dispatch.com or through X (formerly Twitter) tagging @BrianWhite13.
Once athletes win during the regular season, they’re not eligible to be back on the ballot until the postseason. Athletes who have not been a recipient of one of the weekly awards can be nominated more than once.
