School Sports Are Back – And So Is Athlete of the Week!

Fall sports are back, which means so is Athlete of the Week. For the 11th year, Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute will recognize some of the outstanding performances from area student-athletes with the scholarship program Athlete of the Week.

Just like in years past, you have a say in who wins male and female Athlete of the Week and the $500 scholarship that goes with the title. Each week, The Morning Call sports staff will nominate three male and three female senior athletes from the area based on their performances the week prior. You can vote for the athlete you think deserves to win from Monday, 5 p.m. until voting closes on Thursday, 9 a.m.

In addition to the $500 scholarship, each male and female Athlete of the Week also will be eligible for the title of male and female Athlete of the Year and the accompanying $10,000 scholarship that will be awarded at the end of the 2023-2024 school year.

Athlete of the Week, presented by Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute, is the region’s largest scholarship program and has recognized over 300 student-athletes and awarded over $250,000 in scholarships. The program typically runs for 35 weeks and recognizes students who participate in a number of fall, winter and spring sports.
