SEATTLE POST INTELLIGENCER SPORTS STAR OF THE YEAR AWARD

One of the nation's longest-running sports banquets returns Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. when the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Sports Star of the Year awards program fills the Grand Ballroom at The Westin Seattle.
This will be the 73rd annual version of an event launched by legendary P-I sports editor Royal Brougham, who would hardly recognize the fast-paced, entertaining celebration it has become. The Sports Star of the Year program honors excellence in a wide array of professional and college sports. It also includes past winners. The result is a head table packed with many of the biggest names in Seattle sports � champs from as far back as the 1940s and '50s sitting alongside current Olympians, All-Americans and pro all-stars.
KIRO 7 news anchor and Seahawks play-by-play announcer Steve Raible is master of ceremonies. Award winners include Mariners All-Star pitcher J.J. Putz, University of Washington all-conference basketball player Jon Brockman, UW all-conference football player Louis Rankin, UW all-conference softball pitcher Danielle Lawrie, Emerald Downs record-setting jockey Ricky Frazier, Seattle Pacific University national championship runner Jessica Pixler and SPU first-team All-America soccer player Sarah Martinez. Three are yet to be announced.
The award winners are introduced with video highlights. The audience plays a role by picking one male and one female Sports Star of the Year. Voting happens during the meal and results are announced at the end of the program.
Tickets cost $75 and may be ordered by calling Katherine White at 206-448-8066.
