The UC Riverside Athletics Department hosted its 2008-09 Athletics Awards Ceremony on Tuesday evening at The Barn on UCR's campus, honoring the achievements of the 2008-09 Highlander student-athletes and staff. Women's Cross Country and Track & Field athlete Brenda Martinez was honored with UCR's Female Athlete of the Year award.
Martinez was named an All-American in indoor track this year after finishing seventh in the mile at the NCAAs. She was recently named Big West Female Track Athlete of the Year after winning the 800m and 1500m at the conference championship, and her times in those events are both among the top 20 in the entire world.
After competing in the US Olympic Trials last summer, she is set to compete in the USA Championships this June in Eugene, Oregon.
Throughout the evening, the Highlanders also celebrated their Big West All-Conference award winners, Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) members, graduating seniors, and Big West Scholar Athletes. Please visit the complete Athletics Awards Ceremony story for full details.
