Award Criteria, Selection Process & Voting Panel
INDIVIDUAL SPORT ATHLETES OF THE YEAR:
Throughout the calendar year The Record's sports writers and photographers cover student athletes from over 15 schools (in two states, and six counties). It's not easy to whittle all that talent down to one representative from each sport. But each season they do it, after hours of crunching numbers, calling coaches and lively debate. We announce the top athlete from each sport throughout the year.
