SPORTS AWARDS
|
The NCW Sports Awards banquet was established in 1971 to honor North Central Washington's finest athletes, teams and coaches. The event, sponsored by Wenatchee North Rotary, recognizes athletes and coaches encompassing 28 schools, along with organized athletic activities, in an 11,000 square mile area that is slightly larger than the state of Maryland. Ten finalists are chosen each year in each of eight categories and are featured at the banquet. The event serves as a fundraiser with contributions going to college scholarships, youth sports activities, athletic grants and other charitable activities supported by Wenatchee North Rotary. Selections are made by balloting from among approximately thirty regional sports media personnel and individuals who are knowledgeable about athletics in North Central Washington.
