After two weeks of voting, we have a champion in the Blue Federal Credit Union Girls Athlete of the Year bracket.
Wellington state champion swimmer Cody Monajjem is the Blue FCU Fort Collins-area Girls Athlete of the Year for the 2025-26 school year, taking the title in a thrillingly close championship matchup to wrap up four rounds of voting from thousands of fans.
The senior barely beat out Fossil Ridge soccer and track standout Lily Wale, as Monajjem ultimately earned the win with 50.3% of the vote.
It's a well-deserved career capper for the Eagles champion and foundational swimmer for Wellington's combined program with Timnath.
Monajjem won a Class 3A state title for the third straight year, this time taking the 200-yard freestyle state crown in 1:53.04.
She also finished runner-up in the 3A 100 backstroke, touching in second by less than a second.
Along with top-five finishes as Wellington's relay anchor, Monajjem earned Colorado 3A Girls Swimmer of the Year honors for her performance at state.
Monajjem narrowly missed out on sweeping individual titles in several seasons, winning the 3A 200 free in 2024 and the 3A 100 back state titles in 2025.
The star swimmer finishes her prep tenure as a highly decorated champion, earning three state titles and four runner-ups in eight individual career swims at the 3A state meet.
Monajjem remains Wellington's only individual state champion (in any sport) during the school's four-year history.
Monajjem also helped spur the Wellington-Timnath combined swim program, starting in the program's first year when there were just six total swimmers.
Now, that number has more than tripled, and the roster depth was on display at state with a fifth-place 3A team finish for the Eagles.
It means Monajjem is leaving quite a legacy in the pool for the still-growing program.
Here was Monajjem's path to the Girls Athlete of the Year crown across the four rounds of voting:
The Coloradoan has been proud to partner with Blue Federal Credit Union to honor the top Fort Collins-area athletes, including nearly 50 Athlete of the Week winners in the 2025-26 school year.
