The Times News/Lehigh Valley Health Network Athlete of the Week is back for another season, and we want your feedback.

The weekly award will now be determined by voting on a poll on our Times News Sports Facebook page moving forward. The poll will go live with a list of candidates later today, and close tomorrow afternoon with the winner determined by the most votes received.

The winner will be featured in Wednesday’s paper.

Be sure to vote and encourage your family and friends to do the same!
