Sacramento-area track and field participants and afficiondos are the beneficiaries of the dedication of many individuals who have devoted themselves to the improvement of the sport. Beyond their contributions to the youth of the region, many of these giving individuals have further enhanced and otherwise contributed to track and field throughout the state and the nation. Each year, by inducting such a person into the Golden West Hall of Fame, the Golden West Association honors the individual who has raised the stature of track and field and who has uniquely contributed to the sport as an extraordinarily achieving athlete, coach, educator, professional or member of the community at large. |
