Voting is open for the 2026 Battle Creek Enquirer Readers Choice High School Track Athlete of the Year for both boys and girls in the Battle Creek area. Separate voting is available for the boys track category and the girls track category, each presented as a Readers Choice contest. The Yahoo Sports listings direct readers to participate in the respective fan voting for the 2026 awards, indicating these are community-selected honors rather than selections made solely by coaches or a panel. The information provided does not name specific nominees, describe judging criteria, or state voting deadlines, but it emphasizes that readers can cast votes to determine the Athlete of the Year in each division. Overall, the sources agree that the same media outlet is running two parallel voting processes—one for boys track and one for girls track—under the 2026 Readers Choice format.
