Vote for This Week’s Athlete of the Week [4/11]

Congrats to Mainland's Deirdre Lenzsch for taking home last week's 97.3 ESPN High School Athlete of the Week honors.

As we head into the Spring sports season, we have a new batch of local student-athletes this week who have proven themselves worthy.

You can vote for your pick, and hear the winner announced on the South Jersey Sports Report with Tyler Donohue Saturday morning beginning at 9:00.

Taylor Kniethardt, Baseball, ACIT - He connected on a game-winning double in the bottom of the seventh against Cape May Tech on Tuesday. His timely hit gave the Red Hawks an 8-7 victory, the first in win in program history.
