Vote for the All-USA Vermont Girls Athlete of the Week powered by Delta Dental

Welcome to the second installment of the 2026 fall season for the Delta Dental All-USA Vermont 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. To vote, click on the name of the person you want to select and refresh the page after each time you vote to be able to vote as often as you’d like.

Voting began Monday, Sept. 14 and continues through 9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17.

How do we learn who wins?

The winners will be announced in a story published at burlingtonfreepress.com on Friday, Sept. 18.

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.
