As we come ever closer to postseason competition in spring sports, it’s time again for the Tribune’s Athlete of the Week.

Congratulations to last week’s winners of the poll, Katie Slade of Great Falls High track and Chad Wyman of Great Falls High tennis.

Each week during competition, two girls and two boys will be nominated, with the audience choosing the winner via poll, which are both posted below.

Athletic directors, coaches, parents, and fans are encouraged to send in Athlete of the Week nominations for competitors in all sports in northcentral Montana. Nominations can be sent to sports reporter Grady Higgins at ghiggins@greatfallstribune.com .

Voting on this week’s poll will be open until Friday at 11:59 p.m., and the winners of the vote will be announced in the following week’s Athlete of the Week story.
