Congratulations to Atlantic City's swimming sensation Colleen Callahan for winning last week's 97.3 ESPN High School Athlete of the Week honors.

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.

Reynolds, as usual, was also extremely active atop the Vikings perimeter defense.
