It’s time to vote for Sun Herald’s MS Coast Athlete of the Week for May 9
The statewide track and field championships were held at the end of April and South Mississippi was well represented across the events.
This week’s nominees for Sun Herald’s Athlete of the Week are some of the top Gulf Coast performers from the competition.
This is not a scientific poll, and you can vote as many times as you’d like until voting ends at 5 p.m. Friday, May 13.
