Winter sports are over, so it’s time for us to do some stretches and get in a workout before Athlete of the Week launches into spring sports.
We are going to honor all of last season’s Boys Athlete of the Week winners by having them compete in one final poll to determine who is the top Boys Athlete of the Winter. The award is presented by Faber Builders.
Your vote determines which Section V player deserves the honor. The players’ credentials are listed above the poll — which will be live until 8 p.m. Thursday. The winner will be announced on our Instagram page Friday morning.
Let’s look at Athletes of the Week for one final time. And if the poll at the bottom of the page doesn’t load, please click here.
