Welcome to the fifth installment of the 2026 spring season for the Delta Dental Vermont Varsity Insider Athletes of the Week voting by high school sports fans.
This week, and every week during the sports seasons, members of the public may vote for a top girls athlete and a top boys athlete. And since last year, we added to the list of weekly nominees: There are now two stories, one for girls and one for boys, with more athletes on each ballot.
How do I cast my vote?
All voting is through the ballots at burlingtonfreepress.com. We will not accept votes through email or through social media.
Voting began Monday, May 18, and continues through 9 p.m. Thursday, May 21.
How do we learn who wins?
The winners will be announced in a story published at burlingtonfreepress.com on Friday, May 22.
May I nominate a deserving athlete for a future ballot?
Yes. Please nominate a Vermont high school athlete by sending an email to sports@burlingtonfreepress.com (Subject Line: Athletes of the Week nomination). Additionally, please include the athlete’s school, sport and any relevant details from that week’s games in the email.
