Beginning in August, the Caller-Times recognized some of the top high school performances by soliciting nominations and naming finalists for the Apple Dental Center Athlete of the Week.
Weekly voting lasted throughout the school year and produced 33 Athletes of the Week.
Now, readers will have a chance to choose from those honorees to name a Caller-Times Apple Dental Center Fan Favorite High School Athlete of the Year.
Voting will be broken down over three weeks beginning June 2 and will run Tuesday through Friday each week, with voting wrapping up at 2 p.m. every Friday.
The 16 athletes who receive the most votes this week will advance to the second round of voting beginning June 16.
The eight athletes with the most votes from the second week will advance to the final week of voting.
Voting totals will reset each week.
Each athlete is listed alphabetically with the sport for which they were selected as an Apple Dental Center Athlete of the Week winner.
