Rossville sophomore girls wrestler Kendra Hurla and Washburn Rural senior swimmer Nathen Trachta have been named the Dan Key Farmers Insurance Agency Athletes of the Week honorees.

Hurla remained undefeated with a dominating performance in last weekend's Class 4A-1A regional tournament at Baldwin while Trachta won four gold medals and helped lead Rural to its third straight Centennial League team title last Thursday. 

Here’s a brief look at the accomplishments of Hurla and Trachta last week:

KENDRA HURLA, Rossville

A returning state champion, the Bulldawgs' star 120-pound wrestler improved to a perfect 35-0 record on the 2021-2022 season en route to an individual championship in last Saturday's Class 4A-1A girls regional tournament at Baldwin.

After a first-round bye, Hurla recorded three straight wins by pin -- in 1 minute, 51 seconds, 31 seconds and 1:28 over Holton's Macey Gross in the championship match to punch her ticket to the state tournament at Salina.

Hurla is currently ranked No. 1 at 120 pounds by the Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association.
