Week 3 Athlete of the Week: Vance Hahn

Here is the Louisburg Sports Zone Athlete of the Week for week three of the winter sports season, sponsored by Dr. Laura’s Orthodontics.

VANCE HAHN, SENIOR, WRESTLING

Louisburg senior Vance Hahn put together one of his better tournaments in his career last Saturday at the Randy Starcher Memorial Tournament at Tonganoxie High School. Hahn made it to the championship of the 190-pound bracket and finished second overall to improve his record to 10-5 on the season.

Hahn pinned his way to the championship as he tallied four falls, before losing to Royal Valley’s Cyrus Harding by a 6-0 decision. He helped the Wildcats to a seventh-place team finish in a very talented tournament field.

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.

However, this will be the final Athlete of the Week that will be given by me as Louisburg Sports Zone is closing on Dec. 31. Graciously, Louisburg High School has agreed to continue to give out Athlete of the Week awards in my absence.

I’ve had a chance to honor close to 300 student athletes since I started doing Athlete of the Week in 2016 with the help of some generous sponsors around the community. Hope it all meant a little something to you along the way.
