The votes are in for The Bulletin’s Athletes of the Week for Sept. 16-21. More than 1,000 votes were cast.

Brook Sandvall, a freshman on the Bend High cross-country team, and Eli Pupo, a senior on the Redmond football team, were voted by Bulletin readers as the boys and girls Athletes of the Week.

Brook Sandvall, Bend cross-country

Sandvall was nominated by Bend High cross-country coach Caleb Hoffman after the freshman posted a 40-second improvement at the Northwest Classic at Lane Community College in Eugene on Sept. 21.

Sandvall had a top-30 finish (top-10 among freshmen) with a time of 21 minutes, 1 second.

Eli Pupo, Redmond football

Pupo was nominated by Redmond coach Kyle Lavender after the senior running back scored three touchdowns and had more than 200 all-purpose yards in the Panthers’ 36-0 win over Southridge on Sept. 20.

Pupo ran for 165 yards on 15 carries, with two rushing touchdowns and a 58-yard punt return for a touchdown.

New nominations will be announced on Tuesday. Local athletes are nominated for the honor by coaches and The Bulletin sports staff.
