Every week, the Las Cruces Sun-News will nominate several athletes for its Athlete of the Week award, sponsored by the El Paso Children's Hospital. The winner is decided by you, the readers.

The award highlights the best performances from Las Cruces-area schools from the previous week. This week, there are 10 football, volleyball, soccer and cross country nominees from Las Cruces, Mayfield, Organ Mountain, Centennial and Chaparral.

Last week's winner was Christopher Crespin , who scored two goals and tallied five assists in an 11-3 win over Alamogordo, with one other goal in a 3-1 win over Gadsden, to earn his nomination. Be sure to submit nominees for what occurs in this week's athletic contests to Nick Coppola at ncoppola@lcsun-news.com.
