Voting is now open for the Breathe Free Duct Cleaning Athlete of the Week poll
After a layoff that lasted too long due to technical issues, the weekly Breathe Free Duct Cleaning Athlete of the Week poll is back.
Each week The Daily Reporter will post a poll covering the week’s top performances, from each spring sport. At the end of the voting the top four vote getters from that Top Performance poll will move on to the Breathe Free Duct Cleaning Athlete of the Week poll. Voting begins Monday night and runs through Thursday at 5 p.m. The winner will be announced online Friday morning with the honoree appearing in print on Saturday.

The two polls associated with this honor serve their own purpose and each varies in its form.
The original Top Performances poll will run from Friday to Monday morning each week, in a poll that can be voted on as many times as you want, regardless of time or email. For the Top Performances poll you are encouraged to vote early and as often as you want.
The top four will then move on to the Breathe Free Duct Cleaning Athlete of the Week poll, which will allow each voter to vote just once per hour after using your email to sign in. Along with the email used to sign in, voters will get coupons good for services from Breathe Free Duct Cleaning, Your Breath of Fresh Air, including money off duct cleaning, vent cleaning, and chimney sweeping.
So, after the quick explanation, the top six vote getters (or more, depending on ties and the like) from last week’s Top Performers poll have moved on to the Breathe Free Duct Cleaning Athlete of the Week poll.
