Who had
Indiana's best individual performances?
You vote, you
decide. MaxPreps is proud to sponsor the Indiana Athlete of
the Week awards during the 2022-23 school year.
Each week during the season (regular and post),
there will be a fan-generated contest to tab
weekly winners. Each winner receives a letter and
award patch for their varsity jacket.
How does it
work? Nominees are selected from
statistics submitted on MaxPreps. Coaches who do not have current access may
request their free account here.
Weekly finalists are released on MaxPreps every
Tuesday and voting is conducted in a special poll.
Voting ceases at noon on Mondays. The winners are announced the next day
along with the next week's nominees.
Participants may vote as many
times as they want. It's a competition.
This past week, over 80,000 votes were cast. So far
this school year over 1.7-million votes have been cast.
