In a vote that ended Dec. 10, Cincinnati.com readers selected the Cincinnati Enquirer Athletes of the Week, presented by Mercy Health, from high school sports action through Dec. 5.
Winners through Oct. 1 should have received a certificate through the school's athletic department. The next round will come out before the year's end.
Once they reach the schools, please remember to send a picture of winning athletes with their certificates for the photo gallery to mlaughman@enquirer.com.
Here are this week's top choices:
