Middleton junior Lauren Pansegrau has been selected as the VNN Athlete of the Week after a vote on WisSports.net

There were 4,396 total votes this week. Pansegrau topped all vote getters with 1,740 votes. McFarland's Zach Nichols came in second with 842 votes.

Pansegrau had a great weekend, winning the alternate season cross country state meet, and setting a state meet history record in the process. After finishing as runner-up as a sophomore, the junior ran the 5,000 meter course with a time of 17:07.3, a minute and 20 seconds ahead of second place finisher Genevieve Nashold of Madison West. That time broke the state meet record as Pansegrau led the Cardinals to a state meet team title.
