Voting for Winter Week Two Athlete of the Week Open

Winter sports are rolling across Aroostook County, and it’s time to have your say. Week One Winter Athlete of the Week voting is now open, and your votes will help decide which standout student-athlete earns the first honor of the season.

All winter long, Athlete of the Week shines a spotlight on the players who do more than fill up the stat sheet. We’re talking about athletes who step up in clutch moments, lead in the locker room and the classroom, and represent their schools and communities with pride. Now that the opening stretch of games, meets and matches are in the books and the nominees are set, it’s your turn to help pick our first winter winner.

Take a look at the Week Two nominees listed below and consider the full picture: big performances, leadership, hustle plays, and sportsmanship. Then, cast your vote for the athlete you believe best represents what County sports are all about.

Ava Lerman - Wisdom High School - Scored a combined 77 points in three Lady Pioneeer wins
Aleah Rideout - Presque Isle High School - Broke her personal best and set a Presque Isle indoor track school record for the second straight week in the mile at the EMITL meet this past weekend
Cyran Ciarlegio - Hodgdon High School - Scored a combined 50 points over two games
Lily Bell - Caribou - Scored a combined 35 in Two Lady Viking wins
Cruze Casavant - Presque Isle High School - Combined for 41 over two games this past week

You can vote once per hour until Wednesday at 9 am, so be sure to come back often, support your school, and help spread the word with teammates, classmates, and fans. Every vote helps make sure the hard work of these student-athletes doesn’t go unnoticed.
