The award for the most ridiculous, self-absorbed, overzealous all sports entertainment network in the world goes to...
ESPN, for the 10th year running.
They have once again proven that outside the 4 major sports, Tiger Woods, and the Williams sisters, you're really not much of an athlete. Unless you count token consideration of Cael Sanderson and -ahem- Sarah Hughes (don't even get me started on figure skating).
No offense to college athlete of the year Sue Bird (UConn BB) but a certain swimmer from Cal who set at least 6 AR and 1 WR over the short course season would have had my vote.
Anyone else? Natalie Coughlin, female college athlete of the year as awarded by the USMS discussion crew?

Like me rephase what I'm talking about. Running from 1 mile and over, there are a lot of adults runners. However, Masters Track and field starts for women at age 35 and up and men for over 40 years old. So many people are denied a chance at running sprint events as an adult until their 30's or 40's. So there are a lot more adults that compete at 50 meter freestyle than the 100 meter dash Also, the field events like hammer and the polt volt ,there are probably alot less adults that do that than swim.
