Each week throughout the school year, the WIAA recognizes 12 varsity athletes, a male and a female from each of the six classifications, who exhibited an outstanding performance for the previous week.
In recognition of their accomplishment, each athlete of the week winner receives a congratulatory letter from WIAA executive director, Mike Colbrese, a commemorative State Athlete of the Week T-shirt and a certificate. Winners are also posted to the WIAA website at wiaa.com.
