FLINT - Throughout the high school spring season, MLive’s Flint-area Spring Athlete of the Week poll recognizes the extraordinary efforts of prep athletes in various spring sports. We like to give our local athletes a shoutout for a job well done and our readers an opportunity to vote on who they’d like to support. You can vote as often as you like until the poll closes at 9 a.m. Friday, April 25. Voting will have no impact on postseason awards and no prize will be awarded to the winner (aside from the feeling of support from your voters). Votes MUST be made on the poll below. Any votes made via X or email will not be counted. Coaches and athletic directors are encouraged to nominate players by emailing jszczepaniak@mlive.com. Please provide the player’s stats for the week if you choose to nominate someone. Coaches and athletic directors are also encouraged to email stats and scores from each game as well.
