Who Should Take Home This Year’s Milward Simpson Awards? [POLLS]

Five terrific young women and five upstanding young men are finalists for the 51st Milward Simpson Outstanding Athlete of the Year Award. The winners, one female and one male, will be announced on Saturday, June 20, 2026, during a luncheon in Cody. It is considered the most prestigious award a prep athlete can earn in their high school career.

The student-athletes nominated for the 2026 award participated in basketball, football, indoor track, soccer, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling. All are very deserving of the honor, but only two will be chosen.
