The Vermont high school boys lacrosse season is heating up, and so is the race for the breakout player of the year! Earlier this week, we highlighted 10 standout athletes from across the state, representing both divisions, who have been making waves this spring. Now, it's your turn to decide who deserves the top honor in our Burlington Free Press reader vote, proudly powered by Delta Dental.

These players have gone from under-the-radar to must-watch talent, showcasing skills that have fans and coaches buzzing. Whether it's a lightning-fast midfielder, a lockdown defender, or a goalie with cat-like reflexes, each nominee has brought something special to the field this season. But only one can claim the title of breakout player of the year.

Here's how you can make your voice heard: Tell your family, friends, and teammates to rally behind your favorite athlete. Share the news on your social media pages and get the word out. All voting takes place exclusively through the official ballot at burlingtonfreepress.com—no email or social media votes will be counted.

Voting opens on Thursday, May 14, and runs until 9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20. There's no limit on how many times you can vote, so feel free to show your support as often as you'd like. Every click helps your chosen player climb the ranks!

This is more than just a vote—it's a celebration of the hard work, dedication, and breakout performances that define Vermont high school lacrosse. So gear up, get involved, and help crown this year's breakout star. Who will it be? The power is in your hands.
