Winter Sports Athlete of the Season Nominees

Well the winter sports season has officially come to an end here at WCMP. We certainly had a lot of fun and memorable moments throughout the season. Thanks to Pine Insurance Agency we we able to do a Athlete of the Week to highlight some of the great local athletes in our area. But we wanted to do one more thing to recognize local athletes in our area.

And that bring us our, Winter Sports Athlete of the Season Award!

We'll be going through and picking two athletes, boy and girl, from our local area for this award!

We start with our initial list of 35 athletes! This will be drawn down over the next two weeks, before reaching our winners! This week we'll narrow the list down to 17, next week down to the final four before naming our winners on March 30th!
