Maine High School Sports Awards to recognize top student athletes

The Maine High School Sports Awards is a student athlete recognition program that recognizes the top student athletes in state sanctioned sports throughout the year as part of the national USA TODAY High School Sports Awards program. The athlete of the year for each sport will be announced July 15 on the official program website sportsawards.usatoday.com/maine.

This program is part of the USA TODAY High School Sports Awards, the largest high school sports recognition program in the country. Along with the chance to be recognized on the statewide level, the Maine athletes of the year will be national honorees in the inaugural USA TODAY national high school sports awards show in August. The most elite high school athletes, coaches and teams from across the U.S. will be featured in the awards show for each nationally recognized sport.

Please use the hashtag #MAINEHSSA and #USATODAYHSSA for a chance to be featured on the social media feeds on the event websites and be a part of the online conversation.

Gannett owns and operates the largest high school athlete recognition program in the U.S.
