The 18th annual Windsor/Essex County Sports Persons of the Year (WESPY) Awards are quickly approaching, and the nominees have been announced.
Luke Walker has been named as an Ed Jovanovski nominee.
“Growing up a local kid around here, it’s a great honour,” said Walker.
“I am honoured to be presented as a nominee.”
Also, on the list includes Lakeshore Canadiens, St. Clair College football and baseball teams for team of the year and Harold Conrad has been named as the Male Legacy winner.
Windsor Lancers softball head coach, Francine Stadler, is up for a nomination for executive of the year and said the program is thriving.
“From seven travel teams up to nine, plus our elite team, our program is increasing every year by the numbers,” she said.
“And we’re very successful. Without the entire team, I wouldn’t be standing here today.”
The awards will be held on April 30 at The Caboto Club. Basketball legend Julius Erving, or Dr. J, will be the keynote speaker.
