Vote MLWGS in USA Today’s 2015-16 America’s Best Athletic Program

Speech and debate teams 2026

Who has the best athletic program in the country?  USA TODAY High School Sports is giving the fans the opportunity to decide.  The next installment of the “America’s Best” contest series will be the 2015-16 America’s Best Athletic Program.

The contest will take place over a 10-month period (August – June), where schools from each state, including Washington D.C., that have won a state championship in the past three academic years (2012-15) in a state sanctioned sport will compete for the best athletic program in the country.  States will be rolled out in groups of three (3) in two-week increments over the 10-month period.

To vote you must be at least 13 years old to vote. There is no limit to the number of times a person can vote as long as the Best Athletic Program Rules are followed.

The athletic department of the winning school will receive $2,500. Second place will receive $1,500 and third place will receive $500. All 10 finalists will receive banners for their schools.
