Court, Pool, and Field: Four Standouts Shine as WyoPreps Athletes of the Week [VIDEOS]

Two tennis players, a diver, and a football player share the honor of WyoPreps Athletes of the Week. Following a surge of nominations, Cheyenne Central junior Cailyn Smedley, Kemmerer senior Hanna Walker, Meeteetse senior Jacob Moody, and Cheyenne East senior Colin Crecelius earned the distinction after their successes last week. Smedley maintained a perfect record on the tennis court. Walker set a record and is the leader among 3A divers. Moody had a big game for the Longhorns in a victory last Friday night, and Crecelius remained undefeated this season with a crisp week on the tennis court. WyoPreps reviewed performances from the competition week of September 8-13 and chose these four student-athletes. Previous weeks are not part of the decision.

Girls’ Winners

Walker won the Kemmerer Invite diving title with a school record in the six-dive format of 242.65 points. She surpassed the old mark of 218.10. Walker leads all 3A divers in both the 11-dive and six-dive formats. She is 32 points ahead of the next competitor in six-dive scoring and 30 points in front of the second diver in 11-dive scoring.

WyoPreps spoke to Hanna about how she achieved the record, what she does to focus before her dives, how she’s trying to improve, and more.

Smedley went 4-0 at the No. 2 singles position for the undefeated Cheyenne Central Indians. She beat conference foes from Torrington, Rawlins, Green River, and Rock Springs and did not lose a set. That means she won all four of her matches 6-0 and 6-0. Smedley remained perfect for this season and her prep tennis career.

WyoPreps visited with Cailyn about how she played in her four victories, where she’s been focusing her efforts, preparing for the postseason, and more.

Boys’ Winners

Moody accounted for seven TDs in the Longhorns’ 59-38 victory at home over Dubois last Friday night. He ran for 126 yards and three scores and added six catches for 168 yards and four more touchdowns. On defense, Moody finished with nine tackles, which included five solo stops. He forced two fumbles, recovered one fumble, and had a pass breakup. It helped Meeteetse win their first game of the season after losing to a Canadian opponent in Week 1.

Moody chatted with WyoPreps about his play last Friday night, the growth over his career, how he describes his play, and more.

Crecelius won five matches last week against conference foes Cheyenne South, Rawlins, Rock Springs, Torrington, and Green River. He lost only three games in those matches. One against Torrington, and two at Green River, one in each set. Crecelius is undefeated on the season and earned a No. 1 seed at the 4A South Regional Tennis tournament this weekend.

WyoPreps discussed last week’s play with Colin. He reviewed how he won the five matches, what he’s done to improve this season, how he adjusts to different courts, and more.

Congratulations to Hanna, Cailyn, Jacob, and Colin for being selected as the WyoPreps Athletes of the Week!
