Each print publication, The Parthenon sports staff chooses a Marshall University athlete worthy of receiving the title of “Athlete of the Week.” While this recognition is almost always awarded to a player with outstanding performance in their sport, the recipient also displays what it means to be a part of the Herd. Each recipient represents their team, athletics and the university. While we know that not all 75 people killed in the Nov. 14, 1970 plane crash were athletes at Marshall, we as a staff would like to honor each of the victims by naming them “Athletes of the Week.
