Voting for this week's MassLive Athlete of the Week ends Wednesday at noon
The MassLive Athlete of the Week program runs each week through the end of the spring season in June. Each week, the MassLive sports staff determines five nominees based on their performances and release those names for a reader poll on Monday.
Voting takes place until Wednesday at noon, when the winner will be announced. Later in the week, we will catch up with the winner for a quick Q&A.
Winners will be honored at a catered party at the end of each season.
We rotate between boys and girls each week and winners can not be nominated a second time that school year.
