Webster University student athletes compiled awards ranging from All-Conference to All-American this academic year.
In 2012-13, Webster claimed four St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular-season titles and three SLIAC tournament championships. In the individual sports, school records seemed to fall on a weekly basis.
Former sports editor Josh Sellmeyer, current sports editor Tim Doty and 2013-14 sports editor Sam Masterson decided on the top performers of 2012-13. The trio had a difficult time selecting winners in the third annual Journal Webster Athletic Awards. In 16 categories, a winner and runner-up were selected. Duplicate winners were not allowed.
There were debates among the sports writers regarding who should win these awards, but what do you think? Tell us which picks we got right or wrong. Comment on the stories or send us an email at websterjournal@gmail.com with your thoughts.
