Past Army Athletic Association Award Winners

The prestigious Army Athletic Association Award is awarded annually to the male and female cadet who displays the "most valuable service to intercollegiate athletics during a career as a cadet." The award is traditionally presented during the Awards Convocation just prior to graduation. This year marked the 105th anniversary of the AAA Award that was first awarded to football player Horatio Hackett in 1904.
