Aurora University Athletics

Aurora University Athletics in conjunction with BSN Sports proudly announces the recipients of the BSN Spartan Athletes of the Week award. The honors are earned based on the student-athletes performances on their respective playing surface the previous week.

This week's honors go to AU student-athlete, senior Alexis Janiak of women's wrestling.

Alexis Janiak, women's wrestling - 
Janiak earned the honor after she had another strong performance on the national stage for AU women's wrestling at the 2026 NCAA Women's Wrestling Championship.  Janiak finished second in the 131-bracket despite tying 5-5 through regulation in the national championship match. The decision for the winner came down to multiple layers of criteria. Despite not having the criteria fall in her favor, the 2025 National Champion had yet another impressive performance at the top level of competition.
