The Athlete of the Week voting recognizes athletes across all sports. 

Nominations are due Monday mornings for competitions that took place the previous week. The poll is live until 4 p.m. Fridays.

Anyone can nominate an athlete by email to bwhite1@dispatch.com or through X (formerly Twitter) tagging @BrianWhite13.

Once athletes win during the regular season, they're not eligible to be back on the ballot until the postseason. Athletes who have not been a recipient of one of the weekly awards can be nominated more than once.
