Here are more details about how Athlete of the Week works:

• We accept nominations for varsity athletes for any sport.

• The athlete should have made a significant impact on a game within the nomination time frame, which is the week prior to the voting period (Monday through Sunday).

• Nominees must send the athletes statistics to support the nominations.

• The Free Press will attempt to confirm statistics provided in nominations with coaches and athletic directors.

• Nominations do not guarantee placement on the ballot. The Free Press sports team will narrow down the list of submissions and add athletes they have noticed had strong weeks.
