Disclosure: buyvotescontest.com is a vote-promotion service. This is independent, informational coverage of a public contest run by a third party; we are not affiliated with the organizer. Where our own services are relevant they are clearly labeled, and the contest's official rules always take precedence.
This weekly award is decided by a public tally. The organizer is MileSplit California, and the weekly ballot is hosted on Crowdsignal, the platform also known as poll.fm. Readers choose from a list of boys cross country performers on each ballot, and the award is named for the performer of the week.
Because the program is a public web poll, the result reflects the votes the platform collects rather than a panel's judgment. This guide treats the organizer's own ballots as the only source for dates and format, and it names no individual athlete. The state on this site is California, and no single city is given for the program.
Readers who want the wider state picture can start at the California contests hub, which lists every program the site covers in the state. That hub is the easiest place to compare this weekly series with other California ballots.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Organizer | MileSplit California |
| Platform | Crowdsignal (poll.fm) |
| Ballot | poll.fm/17523024 |
| Series | Weekly, boys cross country |
| State | California |
| Editions noted | 2025 and 2026 |
The program history notes editions in 2025 and 2026. The 2026 season is the most recent one, and the ballot linked from this guide covers the Sep. 21-27 week. Each week of the series carries its own ballot, so the linked page is the latest one in the series.
Opening and closing days for each weekly ballot are not given in the text this guide holds, so the guide does not supply them. Readers should read the date on the poll title before voting, since the title is the only week-level date this guide holds. Readers tracking the series over time should note that each weekly ballot is a separate poll on the same platform, while the editions in 2025 and 2026 describe the series as a whole. The guide does not count the weekly ballots and makes no claim about how many performers appear in any one week.
| Edition | Platform | Timing noted | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Crowdsignal (poll.fm) | September ballot | Edition noted |
| 2026 | Crowdsignal (poll.fm) | Weekly season ballots | Most recent season linked |
Whether a 2027 season follows is not something the history answers, and the guide does not guess a date for it. Readers should treat the weekly titles as the only dated anchor the history supports.
Voting runs as a public tally on the Crowdsignal ballot. Each performer appears as an option on the weekly poll, and a visitor picks the performer they support from the list on the page. The guide does not describe any extra step such as a sign-in or a survey, because the program history names none.
Readers who want more people to see the weekly ballot can share its link with coaches, teammates and local families. The general guide to getting more votes online covers outreach steps that apply to any public poll.
The poll page lists the performers by name with their school and state tags, and it shows the week in the title. Those are the only elements the program history describes, so this guide sticks to them.
The page does not state how many times a visitor may vote in a week, whether a vote can be changed, or whether a visitor must live in California. Those points are unknown from this program's history and should not be assumed from other polls on the site.
The program shares its state with several best-of ballots listed on this site. Most are readers' votes for businesses, restaurants or regional awards, and one is a calendar contest. This series is the only sibling built around a weekly boys cross country performer, which is the difference that matters for readers comparing ballots.
| Program | Vertical | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Best of Central Valley Business | Best of | Central Valley business |
| Best of Marin | Best of | Marin County |
| Best of Orange County | Best of | Orange County |
| Best of San Diego and Best Restaurants | Best of | San Diego and restaurants |
| Best of Silicon Valley | Best of | Silicon Valley |
| GGBR calendar contest | Best of | Calendar entries |
The closest sibling in format is the set of best-of ballots, which run as public votes but on a single annual cycle rather than a weekly one. The calendar contest is a different kind of ballot, so readers should not read it as a performer poll.
This weekly series names performers rather than businesses, so the siblings and this poll do not compete for the same readers. This guide keeps the MileSplit program on its own page and does not assign it the dates of any sibling.
Public polls reward visibility, so the honest route is to tell readers the weekly ballot is open and let them decide. A supporter can post the ballot link, explain why a performer deserves a vote, and ask families and teammates to read the week's list. Those steps are allowed on any public ballot.
Outside sellers offer vote packages for numerous public ballots. The awards page at buy award votes describes that market without promising a result, and no organizer rule about bought votes is printed on this poll page.
Automated tools are a separate question from the honest route above, and readers should check the organizer's rules before using any tool that promises extra votes. No rule on automated voting is printed on the poll page; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.
