Club Fit Brings You Athletes of the Season: Examiner Reader Poll Now Open
Finalists were nominated by athletic directors across our coverage area in Section 1. The list was then approved by Examiner Sports Editor Ray Gallagher.
As they say with the Academy Awards, it’s an honor just to be nominated, so congrats to all the terrific finalists.
