PIERRE – Cross country’s Jazzlyn Rombough and the six boys soccer seniors are the Pierre Athletic Coaches Association-Avera Athletes of the Week for the week of September 28-October 3.
Rombough ran in 21 minutes, 23 seconds in the Sioux Falls Invitational on October 1, over a minute faster than her previous best time. Governor Cross Country Head Coach Jim Keyes said, “Rombough works very hard in practice to get where she is at this point of the season.”
Pierre Boys Soccer Head Coach Matthew DeBoer nominated his seniors: Cameron Ahartz, RyLee Fischer, Raef Briggs, Nathan Leiferman, Paul Heth and Tyson Johnson. DeBoer said of them, “Although the season didn’t finish the way we had hoped, they built the foundation and much more for the program we want here at Riggs moving forward. These six young men took it upon themselves to change the mindset and culture around this program that has struggled for years. We competed in every game in large part to these athletes. They have incredible work ethic and heart. From the summer through the season, these boys came focused and ready to get better every day, and you can already see the impact that they have had on the younger athletes and their mindsets. I couldn’t be more proud of these men as any and all success this program sees in the future should be in part credited to them. This Pierre Governors soccer team, led by our 6 seniors, had the best record, conference finish, and first positive goal differential in the program since 2013.”
