To recognize these standout efforts, the Hillsdale Daily News has selected Athlete of the Week nominees. Readers can cast their vote for their preferred athlete multiple times by refreshing the page, with voting closing at 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, September 25.\n\nThe nominees for the Athlete of the Week award were chosen by coaching staffs' statistics reports or the Hillsdale Daily News' analysis.

He secured first place in the vote, followed by Caleb Blonde, another senior boys cross country runner from Jonesville.\n\nIn addition to the reader's choice, the Daily News will introduce a male and female athlete selection moving forward.
