Here are the nominees for this week's The Oregonian/OregonLive high school athlete of the week poll. You can vote for whoever you like as many times as you like until the 5 p.m. Saturday deadline when the poll closes. 

Be honest and don't set something up that automatically votes for people, either. There's no fun in that.

Here's how last week's voting went.

Braden Lenzy, Tigard boys track and field: Lenzy set a personal best in the 200-meter dash with a time of 21.76 seconds at the Arcadia Invitational. The time is the fastest in Oregon thus far, and Lenzy also holds the top time in the 400 (48.70).

Caleb Seely, Wilson boys track and field: Seely recorded the first 1500-meter run time under four minutes in Oregon this season when he ran a 3:57.38 at the Aloha Preview. Seely also has the fastest 3000 time at 8:47.91.

Who should be The Oregonian/OregonLive's athlete of the week for April 3-9?

Rieker Daniel, Oregon City boys track and field: Daniel sped to a time of 10.95 seconds in the 100-meter dash during a three-way meet with David Douglas and Barlow, and that is the fastest time in Oregon thus far.

Deshae Wise, Grants Pass girls track and field: Wise notched the state's best 200-meter dash time so far this season with a 25.43 at the Jim Robinson Twilight meet. If that wasn't enough, she also set the top time in the 100-meter hurdles with a 14.58.

Madison Elmore, South Eugene girls track and field: The freshman finished the 800-meter run in 2:16, the fastest time in Oregon this year and a personal best, and Jim Robinson Twilight.

Olivia Brooks, Summit girls track and field: Brooks, a senior, set a personal best in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:36.10 at the Jim Robinson Twilight for the fastest time in the state thus far.

Rachel Bring, Molalla girls track and field: Bring set the state's top mark in the shot put with a heave of 42 feet, 1 inch at the Sandy Invitational.

Darian Hageman, Astoria girls track and field: Hageman soared to the state's best triple jump mark with a distance of 37 feet, 8 3/4 inches at a three-way meet with Banks and Valley Catholic.

Callan McRae, Beaverton baseball: McRae allowed two hits and struck out eight in his complete-game shutout of Liberty, which the Beavers won 4-0. McRae threw 104 pitches, 69 for strikes, and walked two.

Ashley Rhoads, McMinnville softball: Rhoads went 4-for-4 with a double in McMinnville's 3-2 win over West Salem to kick of Greater Valley Conference play for the Grizzlies. Rhoads added a pair of hits and an RBI in a 24-0 blowout win over North Salem later in the week.
