KELSEY Merritt is calling on fans to support her dream of winning Sports Illustrated magazine’s Rookie of the Year title.
The Filipino American beauty made the announcement on Instagram.
She posted, “Vote for me as Rookie of the Year 2019! You can vote as many times as you want!”
In another post, she wrote: “We have until May 17th to vote for Rookie of the Year! Need all of your help! Have you voted yet?”
The 22-year old is up against Camille Kostek, Tara Lynn, Jasmine Sanders, Haley Kalil, Halima Aden, Winnie Harlow, and Olivia Brower.
The Rookie of the Year award will be chosen “based on a combination of popular vote, editor’s choice, and an evaluation of proven history as an SI Swimsuit brand ambassador.”
Voting can be done on the Sports Illustrated website.
Merritt made history being the first Filipina to join the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. (RAMPADOR ALINDOG)
