Athlete of the Week: Kaitlyn Welchert (Sept. 28, 2022)

Pioneers' slugger hits 3 homers, totals 10 RBIs

Posted

Kaitlyn Welchert claims Washington County’s Nannen & Harte Physical Therapy honors with her monster numbers at the plate.

She had to be the pick.

The Fort Calhoun junior hit three homers, including two in her softball team’s win against Arlington, and had 10 RBIs across the last four games of the week alone. It was a standout effort.

Blair and Arlington’s honorees this week — cross-country runners Dawson Fricke and Keelianne Green, respectively — still have their biggest races ahead, too. I expect they’ll give us more opportunities to celebrate them again as well. Keep an eye out to see if that’s next week even.

As always, thanks for watching.
