Each week, Menifee 24/7 honors top student-athletes at Paloma Valley High School. The coach of each varsity sport is allowed to select one athlete based on the previous week's performances or on potential shown by the athlete. Here are this week's honorees from Paloma Valley:

Middle blocker Gerrit Vander Feer served consistently, resulting in 10 aces on the week for the boys volleyball team. He also had 13 kills and a .596 hitting percentage. "We will be looking to Gerrit with playoffs around the corner for more offense and a lot of defense at the net," said coach Katie Bradley.

Mai Franks of the girls track team posted a personal best time in winning the 1600 meters against Heritage. She also won the 3200.
