The San Angelo Standard-Times continues its tradition of celebrating outstanding local athletes with the City National Bank Athlete of the Week award. Nominations are welcome year-round as high school sports progress, with notable recent performances emerging in track and field. Each Monday, finalists will be announced, and the public can vote until Thursday morning, with results revealed shortly after. Athletes like Sydney Crooks and Manny Gonzalez have set new records, showcasing the talent in the area.

By the Numbers
  • Sydney Crooks set a new meet record in the triple jump at 38 feet 2.25 inches.
  • Jaekob Jackson posted a record time of 10.59 seconds in the 100-meter dash.
  • Isa McGinnis completed the 1600 meters in 5 minutes 30.18 seconds.
State of Play
  • Final nominations are due each Saturday by 5 p.m. for the following week's awards.
  • Athletes can participate in multiple sports for nominations, but cannot win the same sport's award twice in a season.
What's Next

Nominations and voting will continue weekly, with the next award cycle starting soon. The need for standout performance data and achievements in various sports will drive ongoing nominations.

Bottom Line

This initiative not only highlights individual athletic achievements but also fosters community engagement and support for local sports programs throughout the year.
