We've just learned that Azusa Pacific alumnus Bryan Clay has been nominated for ESPN's Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly (ESPY) Award. I believe this makes Bryan the first alumnus in APU history to be nominated for this presitgious athletic award, which has been compared to the Grammy and Academy awards for sports (according to wikipedia).
Go to www.espys.tv to vote for Bryan in the Best US Male Olympian category. (You must register or log in to vote.) Fans determine the winners, so get online and vote to show Bryan your support! Voting takes place through July 11.
Samuel L. Jackson will host the 17th annual ESPY Awards on at the Nokia Theater in LA. Results will air Sunday, July 19 on ESPN.
Bryan's been making headlines recently following his gold medal win at Toronto's Festival of Excellence a couple weeks ago. Read more on what he's up to in this Seattle Times article.
