The start of a new school year marks the return of high school sports, and once again The Morning Call is honoring the Lehigh Valley’s student-athletes.
Athlete of the Week — sponsored by the Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute — is now in its 13th year and highlights the achievements of high school seniors around the region. Their talent, dedication, and hard work are amazing to watch and deserve to be recognized.
How it works
Each week, The Morning Call will nominate three male and three female senior athletes from Lehigh Valley area schools based on an outstanding performance or other noteworthy accomplishment.
You are invited to vote for these nominees at mcall.com/athleteoftheweek. One male and one female will be named Athlete of the Week.
Voting runs each week from 5 p.m. ET on Mondays to 9 a.m. ET on Thursdays, with the winners announced Thursday evening. (Voting times may change due to holidays or other extenuating circumstances.)
Athlete of the Week winners will be eligible for a $500 scholarship to be awarded by the Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute. In addition to the weekly scholarships, one male and one female Athlete of the Week winner will be awarded with a $10,000 scholarship at the end of the school year.
