Who will be the top girls athlete for 2025-26 in Manitowoc, Sheboygan? Vote here
Starting last August through the WIAA state soccer tournament this spring, there were plenty of standout girls athletes across Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties in the 2025-26 school year.
Here is a list of the top 42 girls athletes, in alphabetical order.
I’ll be focusing on top accomplishments, not necessarily every sport they competed in or accolade they received.

The poll will be open one week until July 20 at noon.
