Each week, the TribPreps staff will choose standout performers and key numbers from the previous week’s action in Utah and showcase them. Here are this week’s picks.
Aubri Whatcott
The Syracuse senior helped the Titans volleyball team win both of its matches this week with her expert serving. She recorded three service aces in a 3-0 win over Layton on Tuesday then added two more in a 3-0 victory over Davis on Thursday. She leads the team with 40 aces this season. “Aubri is an effective server because she is aggressive and willing to take risks,” Titans coach Corrie Vigil said. “She aims for seams and tough areas, which keeps teams out of system.”
Ali Berry
The Murray senior scored a pair of goals to help the Spartans girls’ soccer team knock off West 8-0 on Thursday. It was the fourth time this season she has scored two goals in a game. Her 14 goals lead the team.
Zoe Hales
The Stansbury senior won the Sanpete Classic Cross-Country Invite on Wednesday, covering the 3-mile course in 18 minutes, 46.1 seconds. Her effort helped the Stallions win the girls’ team title. She is out to improve on her third-place finish at the Class 3A state meet last year.
