What is the MileSplit Georgia Boys Performer of the Week vote?
MileSplit GA is the Georgia high school running publication behind this series, covering cross
country and track and field across the state from ga.milesplit.com. Its masthead describes the
outlet as "MileSplit GA | Georgia High School Running News and Videos | Cross Country and Track &
Field." Each week during the fall season the outlet names a boys cross country performer of the
week and opens a public ballot so readers decide who earns the nod. Crowdsignal, the polling
service reached at poll.fm, hosts the vote, and this program's ballot sits at poll.fm/17446180.
The format is deliberately small. In the publisher's own words, "We will do this once a week and we
will have up to 5 nominees for both boys and girls each week," so a boys slate rarely exceeds five
names. The ballot now linked carries the title "Georgia Boys Cross Country Performer Of The Week:
August 31 - September 5th" and paired each nominee with his school: Glynn Academy, Cartersville,
Jefferson, Starrs Mill and Woodward Academy. Because the slate rotates, the schools below belong to
that specific round rather than to the series as a whole.
Key fact: the ballot is a straight popularity
count among five weekly nominees, hosted by Crowdsignal for MileSplit GA.

Which seasons are on record and when does a weekly ballot run?
The series is confirmed for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Four ballots from the 2026 season sit behind
the program's history, while the 2025 round remains reachable at the poll.fm address above, titled
for the week of August 31 to September 5. MileSplit GA's stated cadence is weekly: the publisher
commits to a fresh slate every week while cross country competition runs.
What the ballot does and does not spell out
The ballot page itself is spare. It lists the nominee lines and the voting control, and little else.
No closing hour for the week appears beside the list, and the article announcing each round prints
no cutoff either. None of the pages tied to the program publish how long a ballot stays open after
it posts; confirm on the live ballot each cycle. Entry rules are equally unstated: how a runner
lands on a slate, whether nominations arrive from coaches or from the publication's staff, and who
qualifies are nowhere explained.
Timing evidence does bracket the season. The boys round in view falls between August and September,
which matches the opening stretch of a Georgia cross country calendar, and the weekly rhythm means
the deadline question renews with every slate.
Plan around the week, not the clock: since
no printed cutoff exists, treat the arrival of the next slate as the practical end of the current
ballot.
How do you vote in the weekly boys poll?
Casting a vote is quick. Start by opening poll.fm/17446180 in any browser; the page loads the
current boys slate with each nominee shown beside his school. Then mark the circle next to the
runner you back and press the submission control below the list. The choice joins the week's tally
as soon as it goes through.
Returning week after week
Because the slate resets weekly, anyone tracking the series keeps the ballot address bookmarked
and returns when MileSplit GA announces the next round. The publisher's article pages are
where each new slate surfaces, so that is where the weekly handoff becomes visible. Anyone backing
the same program across multiple weeks simply repeats the routine on each fresh ballot.
The ballot carries no extra categories to browse: the boys honor is the entire vote, with the girls
equivalent announced alongside it each week as its own exercise. From a phone the experience matches
a desktop, since the vote is a plain web form rather than an app, and nothing about the layout asks
for a store download or a plug-in.
How does this weekly honor differ from Georgia's best-of ballots?
Georgia's reader-vote landscape on this site holds a set of neighbouring programs, all in the
best-of tradition: the Athens Community's Choice Awards sit alongside Best of Augusta from Augusta
Magazine, Best of Atlanta, Best of Cobb from Cobb Life Magazine, Best of Forsyth from the Forsyth
County News and Best of Middle Georgia. Those contests ask readers to rank businesses and services
across a city or region, usually on an annual cycle.
Where the weekly format wins attention
This program answers a different question. It is weekly, statewide and athletic: five boys cross
country nominees each week, with the honor going to the top vote-getter. Where a best-of ballot
spreads attention across dozens of categories, this slate concentrates it on a handful of runners
whose standings shift inside the span of a week.
For supporters weighing where effort pays off, that contrast matters. A weekly honor rewards fast,
concentrated mobilization while the ballot is alive; an annual readers survey rewards sustained
campaigning over months. Tactics suited to reader-choice formats are collected on
the award-votes overview.
Best of Atlanta and
Athens Community's Choice Awards are the
closest large-market comparisons, and the other Georgia programs cover Augusta, Cobb County, Forsyth
County and Middle Georgia.
How can a nominee's supporters make the weekly count matter?
A five-name slate concentrates the math: every shared link moves the needle more than it would in a
large field. Support therefore works best in the days right after MileSplit GA posts the new slate,
while the whole school community can still rally. Team group chats, booster club pages and family
networks are the channels that fit a weekly high school honor, and the publisher's announcement
article hands you a clean link to pass along.
MileSplit GA states no policy on organized or paid support, so anything beyond personal outreach
rests on unstated ground rules. For methods that suit a short weekly window, the playbook at
the votes guide covers timing, sharing and reminder
cadence. Whatever route a campaign takes, nothing about outside help assures a win in a race this
compact.
