AUGGIE AWARDS PAGE WITH BIOS OF NOMINEES:
http://athletics.augsburg.edu/sports/2010/3/30/2010-auggie-awards.aspx?id=143

The Augsburg athletic department will come together to hold a formal awards gala to honor the achievement of Auggie student-athletes, with the third annual Auggie Awards ceremony, to be held at Si Melby Hall on Monday, April 19.

The Auggie Awards ceremony is a formal-attire event, open to student-athletes, Augsburg athletics staff and special guests. A pre-ceremony reception, complete with a "Maroon Carpet," will begin at 6 p.m. at Si Melby Hall, with the awards ceremony to follow at 7:30 p.m. The ceremony is styled after major awards ceremonies, such as the Oscars and ESPYs, complete with video highlights, music and more. A dessert reception will follow the awards.

There will be several special awards presented during the ceremony. Team awards will be the Men's and Women's Outstanding Teams of the Year, as well as the Men's and Women's Most Improved Teams of the Year and the Academic Team of the Year. Individual awards will include the Men's and Women's Rookies of the Year, the Men's and Women's Outstanding Athletes of the Year and the Men's and Women's Honor Athlete Awards (the highest honor given to senior student-athletes). Student-athletes with the highest grade-point average will also be honored, and recipients of the Joyce Pfaff and Ed Saugestad Academic Awards will be honored.

Award candidates were determined by Augsburg athletics staff, and a preliminary vote of Augsburg athletics staff narrowed the initial candidates to four finalists in each individual category. A second vote of the finalists was held by the Augsburg athletics staff, along with members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), to determine the winners in each category. SAAC members will be presenting the awards at the ceremony.
