With only a few weeks remaining in the 2024 Spring Sports season, there are precious few moments left to celebrate those athletes in Branch County who have excelled on the field of play. Well, it is not summer just yet so we here at The Daily Reporter will continue celebrating Branch County’s best until they force us to stop.

The new format for the Breathe Free Duct Cleaning Athlete of the Week is taking hold, as the Top Performers poll this week broke the previous record for votes cast by thousands. You, the readers, voted in record numbers for 15 of the best Branch County has to offer, in a poll that garnered over 20,000 votes. Out of the dust emerges six student-athletes who finished near the top of the Top Performers poll, so those six now move on to this week’s Breathe Free Duct Cleaning Athlete of the Week poll.

The Breathe Free Duct Cleaning Athlete of the Week poll is a different format than the Top Performers poll. The Athlete of the Week poll allows voters the opportunity to vote once per hour by using your email to sign in. With your email and vote, voters have the opportunity to receive discounts on services from Breathe Free Duct Cleaning, Your Breath of Fresh air, including money off duct cleaning, chimney sweeping and more. So, stay tuned and vote once per hour for your favorite athlete.
