Do you know of an amateur athlete with the following characteristics: outstanding athletic ability, strong character, leadership and sportsmanship? Nominate him or her today for the AAU James E. Sullivan Award, a prestigious award given by the AAU for over 80 years. Nominate an athlete today! AAU is excited to announce that it is AAU Sullivan time again! The AAU will begin taking nominations for the 85th Annual Sullivan Award! Known as the " Oscar" of sports awards, and older than The Heisman, the AAU Sullivan Award honors the outstanding amateur athlete in the United States. It has been presented annually by the AAU since 1930 as a salute to founder and past president of the Amateur Athletic Union, and a pioneer in amateur sports, James E. Sullivan. Based on the qualities of leadership, character, sportsmanship, and the ideals of amateurism, the AAU Sullivan Award goes far beyond athletic accomplishments and honors those who have shown strong moral character.
The 85th Sullivan Award winner will be in great company as past recipients are some of the most prestigious athletes of all time. Flo-Jo, Bruce Jenner, Michelle Kwan, Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow and Shawn Johnson are just a few of the famous athletes to receive the Sullivan Award. The most recent Sullivan recipient from 2013 was John Urschel, Penn State graduate and current offensive guard for the Baltimore Ravens!
