Each week throughout the high school sports 2024-25 competitive seasons, KSRM/ESPN selects a Peninsula Sports Athlete of the Week from each of the central peninsula’s three public high schools.
For the week of May 5th:
- Kenai Kardinals: No athlete provided this week.
- Nikiski Bulldogs Athlete of the Week is track and field jumper Ethan Ellis.
- Over the past week, Ethan locked in during practice and put in extra time beyond practice. It paid off with huge all-time PRs in the Long Jump and Triple Jump and a season PR in the High Jump.
- Soldotna Stars Athlete of the Week is track and field sprinter Tyce Escott.
- Tyce ran the second-fastest 100m and third-fastest 200m times in school history Saturday, winning all four of his events at the SOHI Invite.
Congratulations to all Peninsula Sports Athletes of the Week; each recipient will receive a 6-inch combo meal courtesy of Subway of the Kenai Peninsula.
