Sean McElroy of West Bend West football was the winner of last week’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Piggly Wiggly high school athlete of the week poll for Sept. 8 through Sept. 13.
The senior linebacker registered seven total tackles, a tackle for loss, an interception and a blocked field goal that he returned for a touchdown in the Spartans’ 26-3 victory over Cedarburg on Sept. 5. The win marked the first time since 2006 the Spartans started a season with three straight wins.
McElroy received 22,057 of the 42,046 total votes cast.
Bella Kaldor of New Berlin Eisenhower girls volleyball was the runner-up of last week’s poll after reaching a pair of milestones in Ike’s third-place finish at the Germantown Invite. Kaldor broke the school’s all-time aces record (194) and joined the 1,000-assist club in her career.
Other nominees included in the poll were Drew James of Waukesha West boys soccer, Brody Newton of Arrowhead boys soccer and Connor Pangallo of Homestead football.
