Vote for the high school boys cross-country preseason player of the year!

It's time for the state's boys cross-country stars to have their moment in the spotlight.

To drum up more community support for the upcoming fall season, we are publishing our preseason player of the year ballots. These ballots, created using our players to watch stories , have no bearing on postseason awards and are published to celebrate the new season.

It’s up to the fans to decide who they think should be the ProJo’s preseason MVP. Fans can vote from now until midnight on Sept. 5 for the boys cross-country preseason player of the year. More ballots for other fall sports will also be posted, so be on the lookout!

Vote away!
