Every week, The Seattle Prep Athletic Department awards two lucky athletes the Panther of the Week award for their hard work and supportive attitude. The winners will receive a Panther of the Week t-shirt, an announcement dedicated to them, and will be considered for the Athlete of the Month Award given by the Archdiocese of Seattle. So far, 16 athletes on fall sports teams have been awarded.

The winners are: Ray Schalk, Helena Reischling, Anna Fotheringham, Rachel Dickinson, Tessa Winkelhake, Will Blattner, Isabella Wagner, Jaxon Woodward, Meghan Kearney, John Ostrander, Veronica Gubelman, Robert Gall, Andy Brautigam, Ellie Giesa, Bailey Aggen and Nathanial Post.

Aggen, a Senior on the swim team, says “It was fun being awarded for my hard work at the beginning of the season! I think the award is a great way to celebrate athletes at Prep who are vital members of any team, and who work hard! It is nice to be awarded for the work you put in.” This award encourages players not only to play well, but to have positive attitudes on and off the field.
