Washington High School boys basketball player Colin Briggs and girls swimmer Dayton Griesheimer are the Washington Missourian Athletes of the Week.

Briggs, a 6-3 senior forward, has been a big part of the Blue Jays’ success this season. He’s averaging 7.1 points, 7 rebounds and 4.6 assists while shooting 52.6 percent from the field, and 58 percent on two-point shots. He finished with 20 points and nine rebounds in a recent win over Ft. Zumwalt West.

“Colin is asked to do a lot for us,” said Washington Coach Tim Isgrig. “He is one of the area leaders in rebounds and assists and is a huge part of our success.”

Griesheimer, a senior, completed her high school career swimming a personal best time at the GAC North/Central meet in the 200 individual medley to win the event. She placed third in the 100 backstroke with another personal best time.

Griesheimer was a member of the second-place 200 medley relay team and the fourth-place 400 free relay team. Both relays accomplished best times at the conference meet and improved their state consideration standings.
