Katlyn Folmar has been selected as the Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending 10/16/21. Folmar has been selected due to her numerous shutouts in goal for the entire season for the Lady Warrior soccer team. This season, Folmar has let in 11 goals out of the 16 teams the warriors have faced. She has also contributed to the undefeated season the team has had. 

Folmar joined soccer in sixth grade, and played striker until this year when she became the starting goalie for the team. Her teammates recognized her dedication and success in goal when she was messing around at practices.
