Although high schools are letting out for the summer and beach season set to begin for real this week, we're not quite ready to let go of the 2025-26 high school sports season just yet.
This week, The Providence Journal will begin our Spring All-State photo shoots at our downtown offices and our Spring All-State teams will be published – online an in print – in the coming weeks. And today, we're going to launch a new high school sports poll, piggybacking on our June 18 All-State Awards Show held at The Providence Performing Arts Center, featuring URI wide receiver Marquis Buchanan.
At the show, we gave out Player of the Year awards for each sport. This is where you come in. We'll ask you to select the Longplex Athlete of the Season, for each of the three seasons on the high school sports calendar. Below are the Players of the Year for each of the fall sports. Tell us who you would choose as the Athlete of the Fall Season.
Remember, only votes in the online poll at the end of this article will be accepted. No phone or email votes will be counted.
Her name was known before she had a chance to race for the Clippers, and two years in, Ludwig has become one of the best in school history. Ludwig’s freshman campaign was beyond impressive, as she finished third at the state meet, and she left little doubt about her talent this fall. The sophomore won gold this fall with a time of 18:17.27, more than 27 seconds faster than anyone else, and then went on to finish fifth at New Englands. It’s hard to imagine what she’ll do the next two years but it will be fun to watch.
