D6 Athlete of the Week - Benjamin Williams
"Ben is our senior head captain. He qualified for state at #2 singles, and is now a 3 time state qualifier. He qualified at #1 doubles in 5A as a sophomore, #3 singles in 5A as a junior, and now #2 singles at 4A as a senior. He is our first 3 time state qualifier in over 3 years. Ben has helped redefine the program and brought a culture of success to the team. His positive leadership and ability to adapt to different situations have made him the ideal Spartan. I also have him in forensic science, and he is one of our top academic students and leaders in the classroom. I am very lucky to have had the opportunity to coach and teach Ben, and am very proud of everything he has accomplished for Greeley West." - Ryan Pace, Greeley West High School Head Tennis Coach
