Associated Press Athlete of the Year

Associated Press Athlete of the Year

In 1931, the first and most prestigious "Athlete of the Year" award in the United States was initiated by the Associated Press (AP). At a time when women in sports were never given the same recognition as men, the AP offered a male and a female athlete of the year award to either a professional or amateur athlete. The awards are voted on annually by a panel of AP sports editors from across the United States.
