Each week during the University of Kansas’ sports seasons, the Journal-World staff will select one athlete from a KU men’s sports team and one from a women’s sports team as athletes of the week.
For the week of Oct. 20-26, the selections are Hartej Grewal and Lexi Watts.
Hartej Grewal, men’s golf
The sophomore, a transfer from UC Riverside, shot 10-under at the Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational in Vero Beach, Florida, to lead the Jayhawks. He finished in fifth place individually as KU was third as a team.
Lexi Watts, soccer
The senior from Lenexa has now scored in three consecutive games to take the team lead with nine goals on the year. Her tallies on the road at BYU and Utah helped the Jayhawks sweep their road trip through the Beehive State with 3-1 (against BYU) and 2-0 (against Utah) victories over the course of the week.
