StarNews Athlete of the Week Poll Opens for Public Voting

The Wilmington StarNews has opened voting for its Athlete of the Week poll, inviting the public to select a winner from a shortlist of 25 nominees drawn from Wilmington-area high school sports. The selection process recognises top performers from the week of May 11 to 16, coinciding with a period of intensified activity in North Carolina high school spring sports playoffs.

The current nomination cycle aligns with the deepening of the postseason landscape. Girls soccer and lacrosse have recently joined the playoff bracket, while the baseball and softball state competitions have reached their final stages, with only two area squads remaining in each tournament.

Voting for the Athlete of the Week award is now active and will remain open until Thursday, May 21, at 11:59 p.m. The publication has confirmed that there is no limit on the number of votes a user may cast, allowing for multiple submissions in support of preferred nominees.

The poll serves as a recurring feature for the Wilmington StarNews, highlighting individual achievements within the broader context of local team performance. The original content was published by the Wilmington StarNews in Wilmington, North Carolina, and has been syndicated via Yahoo Sports.

Readers wishing to participate in the selection process can access the voting mechanism directly through the publication’s online platform. The shortlist encompasses a range of athletes who have delivered standout performances during the specified week, reflecting the competitive nature of the current spring sports season.
