Shorewood athlete named as WIAA Athlete of the Week

 Each week throughout the school year, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) recognizes twelve varsity athletes, a male and a female from each of the six classifications, who exhibited an outstanding performance for the previous week.

Chris Diaz, a Junior, from Shorewood High School was nominated by a community member and selected by WIAA staff as one of the Athletes of the Week for achievements in Track and Field.

Diaz helped his team win last week’s meet against Everett and Cascade, by taking the 100m (11.22), 300 hurdles (40.53), was a member of the winning 400 relay (44.98).

In recognition of their accomplishment, each Athlete of the Week winner receives a congratulatory letter from WIAA Executive Director, Mike Colbrese, a commemorative WIAA State Athlete of the Week t-shirt, and a certificate. Winners are also posted to the WIAA website.
