Despite the fact the calendar<br />
year has now turned<br />
to 2019, 2018 still has a<br />
little bit missing from it.<br />
On fields of play all over<br />
the North Shore last year,<br />
student-athletes soared to<br />
new heights, and in many<br />
cases, took their team along<br />
for the ride. 22nd Century<br />
Media was following the<br />
action with its seven North<br />
Shore publications and<br />
websites, documenting the<br />
moments of glory as well<br />
as the agony of defeat.<br />
Along the way, every<br />
week, papers like our<br />
Glenview Lantern selected<br />
and interviewed a worthy<br />
Athlete of the Week. At<br />
the end of the month, all<br />
Athletes of the Week from<br />
the seven newspapers were<br />
pitted against one another<br />
in the popular Athlete of<br />
the Month competition, for<br />
which residents decide the<br />
result by voting for their<br />
favorite athlete online.<br />
At year’s end, there are<br />
12 winners, and we’re not<br />
done just yet. Those 12<br />
winners — along with six<br />
at-large contenders selected<br />
by 22CM staffers — are<br />
about to vie for the ultimate<br />
title: 22nd Century<br />
Titans girls swimmer Emsela Orucevic won the honor in<br />
October.<br />
Media Athlete of the Year.<br />
The Athlete of the Year<br />
competition is a two-week<br />
online voting contest that<br />
began at noon Saturday,<br />
Jan. 26, at GlenviewLantern.com,<br />
as well as the<br />
company’s six other North<br />
Shore websites.<br />
Fans can vote daily for<br />
their favorite student-athlete<br />
until 5 p.m. on Feb. 9.<br />
To avoid voting spam and<br />
abuse, we have restricted<br />
the votes to one per IP address<br />
per day with a special<br />
feature to ensure votes are<br />
being made by humans. If<br />
votes are proven illegitimate,<br />
they will be discarded<br />
and the beneficiary of<br />
the fraudulent votes may<br />
be disqualified.<br />
A winner will be announced<br />
in the Feb. 14 issue<br />
of The Lantern.<br />
