The clock is ticking on voting on The Advertiser's Sports Personality of the Year

With the deadline for our online ballot midnight on Friday, readers can still have their say on the outcome.

At the moment, Rebecca Redfern leads the way, followed closely in second by Jo Frost and Sian O’Toole. Lauren Rowles and Lauren Whiteman can still win with a surge of votes.

We’ve been inundated with votes but don’t forget to vote.

Sports editor Peter McKinney said: “The vote has been very exciting and it’s great to see the interest in this competition.

“It’s great to see sportspeople from Bromsgrove and Droitwich excel at all levels and this is a chance for townsfolk to show their support and appreciation.

“Thanks to everyone who has already contributed to a fascinating competition.”

Bromsgrove athlete Frost’s greatest achievement came at the World Masters Athletics Championships, where she won gold in the long jump and set a British record of 5.91m.

Droitwich boxer O’Toole has proved she’s the real deal in the squared circle.

The 16-year-old, who trains at Droitwich Amateur Boxing Academy, won her first national title when clinching the CYP Championships in an unbeaten season.

Bromsgrove’s Rowles enjoyed a successful switch from wheelchair racing to rowing this year.

Despite being new to the sport, she was selected to represent Great Britain at the World Championships and won silver in the mixed double sculls to seal her place at the 2016 Rio Paralympics.

Partially-sighted Droitwich swimmer Redfern was in fine form at the Sainsbury’s Youth Games, with gold in the SB13 100m breaststroke, setting a British record, and 50m freestyle.

She has also won gold at the ASA National Championships.

Whiteman has savoured a meteoric rise in Racketlon – a sport which incorporates table tennis, badminton, squash, and tennis.

She is currently ranked third in the UK and won silver at the European Championships.

The deadline for voting is Friday, January 8.
