MUSKEGON – We've seen some impressive individual performances on local tennis courts, soccer fields, volleyball courts, golf courses and aquatic centers so far this fall sports season.

Now, we want the readers of MLive and Muskegon Chronicle to decide who had the most impressive week in their field of play and deserves top billing in our Athlete of the Week poll. You can vote as many times as you'd like between now and Tuesday at noon for the student-athlete you believe had the most impressive start to the season.

This week's winner will be announced Tuesday afternoon with a separate post highlighting the player and their accomplishments so far this season.

Coaches are encouraged to nominate an athlete from their team for next week's poll by emailing jvandyke@mlive.com with stats and highlights.
