Waupaca senior Josie Peterson has been selected as the rSchoolToday Athlete of the Week for the week of October 16-22 after a statewide vote on WisSports.net. 

There were 9,544 total votes this week. Peterson topped all vote getters with 3,851 votes. Dodgeville/Mineral Point's Ellie Robinson came in second with 3,702 votes.

Only two top seeds did not advance to sectional play in girls volleyball, and Peterson and Waupaca knocked off one of them. Before that, Peterson set her teammates up in a 3-0 sweep of Clintonville by recording 22 assists. She then had 36 assists in a 3-0 sweep of Merrill. Waupaca then squared off with top-seeded Shawano and Peterson had her best match of the playoffs thus far. The senior setter had 47 assists in the 3-1 regional championship victory. Over the three matches, Peterson added 28 digs, eleven aces, six kills and two blocks.

Waupaca, the four seed, will head to third-seeded Mosinee in a sectional matchup tonight.
