(SANTA BARBARA, Calif.) The prestigious Golden Eagle Awards for Westmont College athletes have been announced for the 2020-21 season. For the second year in a row, the ceremony has been conducted virtually.
The Golden Eagle Award began in 1995 with the support of Pete and Gerd Jordano of the Pacific Beverage Company, who have sponsored the awards ceremony every year since. The Jordanos, along with then president David Winter and his wife Helene, conceived of the award as a way to honor students who have achieved athletically, academically, spiritually and socially. Each recipient must be at least a sophomore in standing, possess a minimum GPA of 3.2 and have the nomination and support of their coach.
