Ionescu wins Sullivan award

[mag 7]

Sabrina Ionescu and Spencer Lee (wrestler from Iowa) shared the AAU James E. Sullivan Award, presented annually since 1930 to the most outstanding amateur athlete in the United States. The winner is determined by public vote, media vote, and committee vote. It is the third time in the 90-year history of the Sullivan Award that co-winners were selected.

Representatives from the AAU created the AAU James E. Sullivan Award with the intent to recognize amateur contributions and achievements from non-professional athletes across the country. The AAU Sullivan Award is presented to the athlete who has demonstrated the most athletic success, as well as leadership, character and sportsmanship in the past year.

Congrats to Sabrina!

To heck with ties. They should have had a closed cage match to decide the winner. And I wouldn't necessarily rule out Sabrina even in that sort of competition.

Then you have never watched Spencer Lee wrestle!
