Voting is open for The Enquirer’s annual Beacon Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine readers’ choice Athletes of the Year ballot, starting with Greater Cincinnati’s high school fall sports.
The Enquirer already named its Athletes of the Year at the 2026 High School Sports Awards, hosted on June 16. Now, readers can make their voices heard and select their own athletes of the year. Readers’ choice ballots are comprised of all Athlete of the Week winners from the 2025-2026 season along with the High School Sports Awards winners.
Readers’ choice Athlete of the Year ballots will be broken down by season. Fall sports voting is available from Monday, June 22 to Friday, June 26, with winter and spring sports ballots to come on June 29 and July 6, respectively.
Enquirer/Cincinnati.com readers can vote for their favorite high school Athletes of the Year on their desktop, the Cincinnati.com mobile website, or the Cincinnati.com app once per hour. Deadline is 4 p.m. on Friday.

Our system considers Wi-Fi as one IP address ‒ to prevent people from clearing caches to vote without limit ‒ so if multiple people on a shared Wi-Fi are voting, they should briefly take their phones off Wi-Fi for the hourly votes to count.
If an Athlete of the Week winner from the 2025-2026 season is not present in their respective ballot, please reach out to csouder@enquirer.com to update the ballot.
Here are the Cincinnati high school fall sports readers’ choice ballots.
