The Coloradoan is again proud to present our weekly Athlete of the Week series, partnering with Blue Federal Credit Union to honor the best Fort Collins-area high school athletes in the 2025-26 school year.

There are five nominees every week, and fans can vote every Monday through Wednesday at coloradoan.com/sports .

This is the sixth edition of the 2025-26 sports season, as the fall sports calendar readies for October action as playoff and championship season arrives.

You can find the nominees and the ballot below. Voting is open this week until 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 1, with the winner announced Oct. 2

Fans can nominate their favorite athletes (deadline: 11:59 p.m. every Sunday) and the Coloradoan sports staff will ultimately select the nominees each week.
