Vote for Landmark Fine Homes High School Girls Athlete of the Week for May 4-10
The Oklahoma high school sports spring season is reaching its thrilling climax. From the final putts on the golf course to the last laps on the track, athletes across the state have delivered performances worthy of the biggest stage. This week, we highlight the standout girls who made their mark between May 4 and May 10, and we need your help to crown the next winner.
The Landmark Fine Homes high school girls athlete of the week poll for May 4-10 is now live exclusively at oklahoman.com. Voting is open until noon Sunday, and the competition is fierce. Last week, Cashion track and field star Khloe Kastner took the top honors, but this week’s slate of nominees brings a fresh wave of talent, including a freshman golfer who nearly stunned the state.
Let’s break down the key contenders, analyze their performances, and make some expert predictions on who might take the crown.
Nominee Spotlight: Charlotte Dixon Shines at the Class 5A State Golf Tournament
Perhaps the most compelling story this week comes from the Class 5A girls golf state championship. Charlotte Dixon, a freshman representing Carl Albert High School, stepped onto the biggest stage of her young career at Shangri-La Golf Club on Grand Lake’s Monkey Island. And she didn’t just participate—she dominated.
Dixon fired a 16-over 162 over two rounds, finishing as the runner-up in the entire state. She was just five strokes behind Tahlequah freshman Kylie Fisher, who took the individual title. For a ninth-grader to handle the pressure of a state tournament at one of Oklahoma’s most challenging courses is remarkable. Shangri-La’s rolling hills, water hazards, and wind off Grand Lake make it a true test of mental toughness.
Dixon’s consistency was the hallmark of her performance. She avoided the big numbers that plague even seasoned upperclassmen, carding steady pars and the occasional birdie to stay in contention. Her finish helped Carl Albert post a competitive team score, proving that the Titans have a bright future ahead.
Expert analysis: Dixon’s runner-up finish is not a fluke. Her ball-striking accuracy and short-game poise are advanced for her age. If she continues this trajectory, she will be a favorite for the individual title in the next three years. Her performance this week is a strong argument for her to win the athlete of the week vote.
Other Standout Performances from May 4-10
While Dixon’s golf heroics are impressive, the week of May 4-10 was packed with other incredible feats across track, softball, and soccer. Here are the key facts you need to know before casting your vote:
- Track & Field dominance: Multiple meet records fell at the Class 2A-A state track championships. The Oklahoman’s coverage highlighted record-breaking performances in sprints, throws, and relays. Look for nominees from schools like Cashion, where last week’s winner Khloe Kastner set the bar high.
- Softball playoff momentum: As the spring softball season heads toward the state tournament, several pitchers and hitters posted eye-popping numbers. Look for nominees from Class 4A and 5A contenders who dominated in the circle or at the plate.
- Soccer playoff heroics: The girls soccer playoffs are in full swing, with several teams punching tickets to the state semifinals. Goalkeepers with shutouts and forwards with hat tricks are strong candidates for this week’s poll.
Each of these athletes delivered under pressure, but only one can be named the Landmark Fine Homes athlete of the week. The voting is open now, and every vote counts.

Last week, Khloe Kastner of Cashion won the poll after a stellar track performance. Her victory brought attention to a small-school athlete who might otherwise have been overlooked. This week, your vote can do the same for another deserving competitor.
Expert Predictions: Who Will Win the May 4-10 Poll?
Based on the early voting trends and the strength of the performances, I see a few clear frontrunners. Let’s break down the likely contenders and their chances:
Prediction 1: Charlotte Dixon (Carl Albert Golf) – As detailed above, her runner-up finish at the Class 5A state tournament is a huge story. Freshmen don’t often contend for state titles, and her 162 total shows elite consistency. If the golf community turns out to vote, she could easily win. Odds: 3/1
Prediction 2: A Track State Champion from Class 2A-A – The record-setting performances at the 2A-A state meet will produce multiple nominees. Athletes who won individual titles or broke meet records have strong emotional appeal. Look for a sprinter or thrower from a small school to rally their community. Odds: 5/2
Prediction 3: A Soccer Playoff Hero – If a girls soccer player scored a dramatic game-winner in the state quarterfinals or recorded a shutout in a penalty shootout, they could steal the vote. Soccer fans are passionate and organized. Odds: 4/1
Prediction 4: A Softball Power Hitter – Softball is king in Oklahoma. If a player hit multiple home runs in a playoff series or pitched a no-hitter, they could surge late in the voting. Odds: 6/1
My expert pick? I’m leaning toward Charlotte Dixon. Her performance at a venue as iconic as Shangri-La, combined with her status as a freshman, is a narrative that resonates. But the track stars have a massive base, so this could go down to the wire.
