Northwestern students sweep 1st place in latest Erie Times-News athlete of the week polls
Last week, it was Harbor Creek students who swept the first Erie Times-News Seaway Window and AHN Male and Female Athlete of the Week polls for District 10's spring season.
This week, it's Northwestern students who finished first.
Garrett Eddy, a member of the Wildcats' baseball team, topped the male ballot with 69 votes out of the 613 submitted overall. He was nominated for his one hit and seven-strikeout pitching performance during their 5-3 victory vs. the Seneca Bobcats.
Union City baseball player Ian Kinney (46) was second on the ballot.
Northwestern freshman Savannah Zietz, with 99 votes, was a comfortable victor for the female poll. Union City softball player Cheyenne Cummings (51) was second.
Zietz is already the school's record holder in the sprint events. She showed why with a gold medal time (12.82 seconds) in the 100 meters and as the bronze medalist for the 200 for the Fort LeBoeuf Invitational.
