As a show of support for our local community high school sports, Midwest Technical Institute’s East Peoria, IL campus is proud to be an official sponsor of NBC News 25’s Prep Rally’s Athlete of the Week.
MTI will sponsor the Defensive Player of the Week segment, featured on the Central Illinois high school sports TV show, Prep Rally. The show airs weekly on Thursday nights at 6:30 PM starting August 29, 2019 (with some holiday breaks) through March 19, 2020.
Prep Rally includes all the latest high school sports news and interviews to celebrate and honor the best in high school sports, showcasing high school bands, cheerleaders, fans and more during school rallies! MTI will also feature the weekly winners here in this post, so be sure to check back.
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!
