The Tacoma Athletic Commission's Athlete of the Year program recognizes student-athletes from all Pierce County High Schools and awards the Athletes of the Year for each of the sports.  All students nominated as an Athlete of the Year are eligible for scholarships that the TAC awards each June as part of our Tom Names Salute to Sports.
