The Ball State Daily News will use this program to honor athletes who had an impressive week or a breakout performance. Candidates will be chosen and the community can cast their votes. Starting this week, the Daily News will be partnering with the Muncie Sports Commission and this weekly form will be used to decide candidates for an award show in the spring.
Candidates will be announced every Sunday with the voting closing on the following Monday at 5 p.m. The winner will be announced the next day. If you believe a certain student-athlete should be a candidate, email the Daily News sports editor Zach Carter at zachary.carter@bsu.edu or associate sports editor David Moore at david.moore@bsu.edu.
To vote for the athletes, check out the form below. Please vote only once as multiple votes from the same email will not count.
Here are your nominees for athlete of the week from Monday, Aug. 26 to Saturday, Aug. 31.
