AAU Sullivan Award Finalist
Entry Feed TrackbackNastia has been named among five finalists for the 79th Annual AAU Sullivan Award, which honors the outstanding amateur athlete in the United States.
Other finalists are Olympic teammates Shawn Johnson, North Carolina basketball player Tyler Hansbrough, Stanford volleyball player Cynthia Barboza, and the U.S. Olympic men’s 4×100 freestyle relay team.
The winner will be chosen by votes cast by AAU officials, U.S. Olympic Committee members and college sports information directors, with those cast online by fans counting one-third toward the final tally. Fan voting ended March 27, and the winner will be announced on April 15.
I voted for you, and I’m sure a lot of your other fans also did Nastia! I hope you win!

It’s so fulfilling to know you’ve made it this far as a finalist, which means you deserve this award as much as any of the other athletes. The only difference to me is that gymnastics outshines the other events & you make it look exquisite! Anyways, may the peace that belongeth unto to the good, the just & the Beautiful abide with you always. Yours Affectionately

(Like you said on Twitter) Congratulations to Shawn for winning the AAU Sullivan Award! Looking at the list of nominees though, it looks like every one of you deserved the award. I’m sure you will be nominated for the 2009 Sullivan Award. Good luck and go get ‘em at nationals and worlds!!
