YWCA Westmoreland County is looking for nominations of female athletes, teams and coaches for its annual Sportswomen of the Year awards program.
There are 12 categories, honoring individual athletes and teams in several age groups, along with categories for a sportswoman with special needs and outstanding female coach.
Nominations are open until March 2, and can be made online at tinyurl.com/NominateYWCASportswomen.
Winners will be announced March 16. They will be honored at the 26th annual Sportswomen of the Year Awards Banquet on Tuesday April 7 at the Ramada Inn & Conference Center in Greensburg.
Since it started 26 years ago, the YWCA program has honored more than 1,000 local athletes.
Last year’s winners included the Hempfield girls softball team, which has won three consecutive times after taking home the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (state) title three years running.
