We recently gave you, the reader, a chance to let your voice heard by selecting your own Male Athlete of the Year in our poll, and now it’s time to do the same for the Female Athlete of the Year.
This poll encompasses all of the girls who played sports during the 2024-25 school year, and many who played more than one. Please just vote once per day. The poll will stay open for two weeks, with the results being announced sometime after 5 p.m. July 4.

But now it’s time to search through our strong nominees and choose who you believe deserves the honor of Female Athlete of the Year by voting in our poll.
Choose from these 15 high school female athletes:
