As a show of support for our local community high school sports, Delta Technical College (DTC)’s Ridgeland campus is proud to be an official sponsor of the WJMI Athlete of the Week!
Athletes from metro-area high schools will be nominated based on their overall athletic performance during the week. The Athlete of the Week winners will receive on-air recognition on WJMI and will be added to a drawing.
At the end of the 2019-2020 athletic school year, a drawing will be held from all the weekly winners names, and the winner of the drawing will receive $500 to be donated to their high school on behalf of WJMI and DTC!
You can also checkout our YouTube playlist, where we post 1-1 video interviews with the winners! We ask each athlete fun and interesting questions to get to know more about them.Congratulations to the winners!
