Mr. Ken G. Martin and Mr. Russell W. Martin

The families of Glenn “Abe” Martin’s two children established this Award as a way to say thanks and pay tribute. They also hoped to memorialize his unique legacy as an athlete, coach, teacher and administrator for generations to come. To the family’s surprise, instead of wanting to establish a men’s athletic award, as they supposed he’d prefer, Abe asked that the annual award be open to seniors, male or female, in the entire College of Education.
