Each week during the school year, the Polk County News will select a male and female Athlete of the Week. This week we wanted to recognize two male athletes and two female athletes.

Though he does not attend a Polk County high school, Shelby resident Grady Romshek, a senior at Aquinas Catholic in David City, stood tall as the Class D 106-pound champion. Also on the podium with him was Shelby-Rising City's Owen Krafka, who finished third, and High Plains' Levi Russell, who finished sixth. PCN photo by Beth Sparrow
