MARYSVILLE – Killian Page has been named Athlete of the Week by the WIAA for his game against Columbia River, which Marysville-Pilchuck won 63-6.

Each week throughout the school year, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association recognizes 12 varsity athletes, a male and a female from each of the six classifications, who exhibit an outstanding performance for the previous week.

Page, a senior, had 14 carries for 187 yards and three touchdowns in the victory over Columbia River in the quarterfinals.

On defense, he picked off two interceptions and recovered a fumble.

The win put the Tomahawks into the semifinals in a match-up against Bellevue at the Tacoma Dome. The Wolverines won that game 20-10, adding to their 67-game winning streak.

In recognition of their accomplishment, each Athlete of the Week receives a congratulatory letter from WIAA Executive Director Mike Colbrese, a commemorative WIAA State Athlete of the Week t-shirt and a certificate.
