New Richmond senior Andrew Nealan and junior Veronica Burnam have been selected as WLWT's High School Playbook McDonald's Student Athletes of the Week. They will be featured during the television station's Friday night and Saturday morning high school sports reports.
Nealan, who gained 142 yards rushing and scored four touchdowns in last week's 61-14 win over Deer Park, also was named WLWT's "Primetime Performer" in an online vote this week. Nealan also is a two-time state qualifier in wrestling and a sprinter on the school's track team.
Burnam, a junior and a two-sport performer in the fall running cross country and playing soccer, finished 41st out of 218 runners in last Saturday's Wilmington Invitational Cross Country Meet. She also plays basketball and runs track for the Lions.
They are pictured holding sports bags presented by McDonald's.
