HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Each week, Ad Astra Radio recognizes different athlete’s outstanding achievements. Congratulations to the Athlete of the Week for the week of 9/29-10/6 Lucas Witt, a Hutchinson High School senior and Central Defender for Salthawk Men’s Soccer!
The week: Lucas Witt was instrumental in the Salthawks’ 4-3 win on Sept. 24 against Goddard Eisenhower. In addition to helping stave off a late comeback attempt from the Tigers, Witt also helped the Salthawks build their lead with a picture-perfect 50-yard pass that led to a goal, Witt’s first assist of the season.
The season: Witt had to reinvent himself this season, as the senior made the move to central defense. His strength, speed and vision have made him a natural for the position, and he’s made the transition comfortably, a big part to Hutchinson’s 6-1-1 record though Sept. 30.
Previously we recognized: Corey Crumrine, Sophia Spies, Ethan Luck
