Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week five of the winter sports season, sponsored by IronHorse Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.

TRACE ESLINGER, SENIOR, WRESTLING

Louisburg senior Trace Eslinger won his first tournament title of the season last Saturday at the Topeka High Invitational. Eslinger won the 215-pound championship with a 7-2 decision over Council Grove’s Tyler Hutchinson, despite weighing 25 pounds under the 215-pound limit. He also recorded a pin in the semifinals.

Even though he is giving up several pounds to his opponents, Eslinger is currently 15-5 on the season after Saturday’s win at Topeka High as he helped the Wildcats to their second straight team championship.

The athlete of the week award is announced every Wednesday morning during the winter season and the winner is selected by Louisburg Sports Zone with the help of nominations from coaches.
