LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) – National writer Nancy Armour was a double winner, and golf writer Doug Ferguson won story of the year for the second straight year in the annual writing contest for AP staffers judged by Associated Press Sports Editors.
Other winners included tennis writer Howard Fendrich, deadline writing, for Andre Agassi’s final match at the U.S. Open; and John Marshall, enterprise, for a piece on the hunt for Bigfoot.
John Marshall’s award was for a story about a three-day search in the wilds of Oregon for the legendary Sasquatch.
“All along, I was hoping that Bigfoot would be found, while common sense was telling me that it was not likely,” Jenks said. “In the end, reality won out, but one could feel the disappointment when the trip and story concluded.”
