Nine girls and eight boys are vying for the honor of WyoPreps Athlete of the Week. This week’s finalists are swimmers, volleyball and football players, and cross-country runners. You can vote for one girl and one boy in this week’s polls below. After receiving nominations and considering the best performances for the week of Oct. 21 through Oct. 26, these are the contenders. Remember, only the last week’s performances are considered. It is for one week at a time, and the nomination window is closed!

Cast your vote now.

As promised, fans can vote to help us decide the winner. Your vote is counted as part of the overall deliberation for each week's Athlete of the Week honors. Winning the poll does not guarantee a selection. Season totals and previous week’s results do not factor into our decision. Only the week of competition listed in the dates above is considered.

WyoPreps also looks at other factors when making our decisions. Those are the level of competition, the type of competition, the size of the competition field, the importance of the competition, and more. The poll is simply one part of our decision, and we value your opinion.

The official winners are announced on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. WyoPreps will feature female and male student-athletes throughout the year.
