Milwaukee Vincent junior Ariel Kirkwood has been selected as the PlayInTheDells.com Athlete of the Week for the week of January 8 through 14 after a vote on WSN. 

There were 2,610 votes this week; Kirkwood received 974 votes, while Rice Lake's Brooke Olson finished second with 918 votes. 

Kirkwood (6-0 Guard) scored a team-high 21 points in the Vikings' upset win over then D1 No. 1 Milwaukee King, 78-69 in overtime, last Thursday at the Milwaukee City Review held at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

The win ended Milwaukee King's 19-game Milwaukee City winning streak.
