Miami-Dade County’s top athletes continue to impress as the winter sports of soccer and girls’ basketball reached their conclusions and boys’ basketball and wrestling decided regional champions. Meanwhile, multiple spring sports like baseball and softball are underway.

This week, we continue a weekly feature where we ask you to vote for the best performer of the week in Miami-Dade County high school sports.

Below is a look at the five candidates from last week’s action. Take our poll below to cast your vote. The poll will be open until Thursday, March 2, around 10 p.m.

You may vote as often as you like until then.
