Athletes of the Year

The Hall invites the county high schools, the three community colleges and California Lutheran University to send a male and a female athlete to be honored for both academic as well as athletic prowess. The students are introduced individually, their exploits are read and they are presented with plaques. The newspaper writers are polled beforehand to vote for THE consensus county athletes of the year (a high school girl and boy and a college man and woman.) The STAR sports editor, Larry Ames, presents these four awards.
