Seattle P-I Sports Star Award Winner
January 16th, 2008 by ScottThe Seattle P-I has named me as one of their “Sports Star Award Winners.” A great honor for me and for ultramarathoning, the P-I takes nominations of ten athletes, recognizing their accomplishments at the end of each year. Local runners have been telling me for years that they’ve been nominating me, so there’s some excitement in Seattle’s running community this week.

The 73rd annual Sports Star of the Year awards banquet is next Tuesday, January 22 at the Westin Seattle. I’ll be introduced with the other award winners along with a video and interview. The program will conclude with the announcement of THE male and female Sports Star of the Year as chosen by the audience that evening. Tickets are $75 and can be ordered by calling 206.448.8066.
Thank you to the P-I and the Seattle community for recognizing me and congratulations to the other award winners. Looking forward to next Tuesday.
