The Coloradoan is again proud to present our weekly Athlete of the Week series, partnering with Blue Federal Credit Union to honor the best Fort Collins-area high school athletes in the 2025-26 school year. There are five nominees every week, and fans can vote every Monday through Thursday at coloradoan.com/sports. This is the 33rd week of the 2025-26 sports year, and we're down to just a handful of sports left in spring championship season. You can find the nominees and the ballot below. Voting is open this week until 11:59 a.m. on May 14, with the winner announced later that same day. Fans can nominate their favorite athletes (deadline: 11:59 p.m. every Sunday) and the Coloradoan sports staff will ultimately select the nominees each week. If you have nominations for a future Athlete of the Week, please send them via email to ChrisAbshire@coloradoan.com for consideration. The following Fort Collins-area girls athletes are nominated for their performances from May 4-9: - Kiana Cumings, Windsor track and field: The reigning double sprints state champion looks ready to defend her titles. Cumings won the 200-meter dash (with a meet record), the 400 dash and 4x400 relay with the Wizards at the Hoka St. Vrain Invitational, plus a third-place finish in the 100 at Teddy's Last Chance Qualifier. - Miriam Huffsmith, Liberty Common soccer: It wasn't a playoff win, but the Eagles junior did about all she could with an incredible postseason performance. Huffsmith scored all five Liberty Common goals in a tough 6-5 loss for the No. 22 seed at No. 11 Denver Christian in the Class 2A first round. - Jordyn Kauffman, Timnath track and field: The Cubs sophomore is also ramping up toward state after her strong freshman finish last season. Kauffman was outstanding at Teddy's Last Chance meet, winning the triple jump by over a foot and taking sixth in the long jump. - Kennedy Lindsey, Fossil Ridge soccer:It was a snowglobe game to remember, especially for the first-year Fossil player. The SaberCat freshman scored two goals (one in each half) for her first career multi-goal game in high school, helping No. 2 Fossil beat Legend 4-0 in a rare snow game. - Nevaeh Winfrey, Rocky Mountain track and field: The Lobos junior showed off her versatility at Teddy's Last Chance Qualifier. Winfrey took first in the 200-meter dash and the high jump, while also taking eighth in the 100 dash for a great pre-state finale.
