New York High School Sports Awards Launches

The New York High School Sports Awards is a student athlete recognition program that recognizes the top student athletes in most state sanctioned sports 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/newyork.

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 New York athletes of the year will be national honorees in the inaugural USA TODAY national high school sports awards show. 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 #NEWYORKHSSA 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.
