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.
