Poll: Vote for the Journal's Sept. 16-22 Athletes of the Week

As we approached the midway point of the regular season last week, some dominant teams began to separate themselves from the pack, and a few upstarts continue to ascend. Likewise for the individual athletes, who've continued to put forth notable performances.

Last week's Athlete of the Week winners were Beacon swimming standout Serena Stampleman, who received 14,553 votes to win the large-school poll and Brady Doherty, a rising star on the Dover boys soccer team, who tallied 13,022 votes to claim the small-school title.

Voting will be open until 6 p.m. Saturday. This week's nominees:
