Winter Sports Athlete of the Season Nominees down to 17

We started with 35 nominees for our initial list of Winter Sports Athlete of the Season. It was not easy trying to get a list down to 35, there are so many deserving athletes in our local area. And each of those athletes is beyond deserving of this award. Sadly, we can only have two winners, one boy and one girl.

So we have let a random generator pick our list of the 17 nominees who will be moving on.

Here is the list of the remaining 17 nominees!
