The high school sports season is rapidly unfolding, which means it's time for once again for everyone's favorite part of the week: The Gainesville Sun 's Athlete of the Week Poll.
Our nomination process is a little different this season. Please click here to see how to nominate. Nominations are due Monday morning, and they can be sent in by anyone — coaches, administrators, friends, family. It is imperative to send in nominations, so we can continue to honor the best!

Voting closes at noon on Friday. FYI, most of our nominees come from our top performers list. Check it out here , and be sure to send a top performer during the week to nram@gannett.com .
