After nearly a full week of voting, San Angelo Central girls track’s Sydney Crooks was voted the San Angelo Standard-Times Athlete of the Week, presented by City National Bank. She garnered 14,005 votes, which was 56.33% of the total votes cast.
Crooks was nominated after she won and set a new meet record in the Division III triple jump at the San Angelo Relays with a distance of 38-02.25.
As the Texas winter and spring high school sports season marches on, The Standard-Times will continue accepting nominations for City National Bank Athlete of the Week throughout the year.
Plenty of action and outstanding performances remain in the high school sports season as local soccer teams head to the postseason and spring sports ramp up competition.
The Standard-Times will release a list of finalists for the High School Athlete of the Week each Monday, and several standouts were nominated for the most recent City National Bank Athlete of the Week award.
The poll starts every Monday and runs until 11 a.m. Thursday, and the winner will be announced shortly after.
