Fort Collins tennis player Scarlett Marske took top honors in the Fort Collins area for the week of March 2-7 after an impressive start to the season.
Marske won her season-opening match vs. Loveland on the No. 2 singles line, helping the Lambkins sweep the Red Wolves 7-0.
Then, the Fort Collins junior beat Erie’s Claire Nguyen in resounding fashion by a score of 6-1, 6-3. That led the way in a 5-2 team win over the Tigers.
For good measure, Marske followed that up with a dominant 6-1, 6-0 win over Greeley West, a difference-making result in Fort Collins’ 4-3 team victory for a 3-0 dual record.
It continues a strong career for the junior, who made the 5A state tournament as a doubles player in 2024 and earned a No. 2 singles alternate spot last season.
Marske is just the second tennis player to earn Blue FCU Athlete of the Week honors this season, joining Poudre boys player Owen Addington.
She’s also the third Fort Collins athlete to win the award, matching Lambkins girls basketball players Annika VanDalen and Lydia Childs.
Marske got 30.1% of the vote to finish ahead of these four other outstanding girls Athlete of the Week nominees:
Addison Geraets, Timnath track & field (runner-up with 23.7% of the vote)
Kiana Cumings, Windsor track & field
Nola Greenwald, Windsor basketball
