What is Athlete of the Week? The Winston-Salem Journal and OrthoCarolina want to recognize the amazing local high school athletes each week! The Winston-Salem Journal Sports Panel will nominate three local high school athletes to be recognized as the Athlete of the Week. We need you, the public, to help us decide on a weekly winner. The nominee with the most votes at the ending of the weekly voting period will be ATHLETE OF THE WEEK! 

How does it work? Every Monday at 5pm, this website will list the three local nominees, as chosen by the Journal Sports Panel. Vote for who you think should win Athlete of the Week. Voting will close each Wednesday at 11:59pm. The local high school athlete with the highest vote total each week shall be selected as the winner! Each winner will be highlighted in the following Sunday Journal and online with Journal Prep Zone.
