Oskaloosa–Men’s shotgun sports athlete Trenton Giese (So., Muskego, Wis., Mechanical Engineering) and women’s cross country runner Claire Rye (Fr., Plymouth, Iowa, Biology) have been named the Statesmen of the Week for the week of September 22-28.

Giese topped the High Overall Athlete standings last Friday through Saturday at the William Penn Invitational. The sophomore, who scored for William Penn in all three disciplines, finished at 283-for-300, including going 98-for-100 in Skeet, 97-for-100 in Trap, and 88-for-100 in Sporting Clays.
