ATLANTA -- Georgia State Athletics celebrated the 2016-17 season with the Golden Panther Awards, the annual year-ending athletics recognition banquet organized and produced by the student-athletes themselves.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from each sport, selected the award categories and winners. Trey Payne of the football team and Sarah Renner of the court volleyball program served as the emcees for the event, which was held Tuesday evening in the Georgia State Student Center and attended by more than 450 student-athletes, coaches, staff, supporters and Hall of Fame guests.
The event began with recognition of the Georgia State Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2016-17 that was originally announced at the Homecoming football game last fall.
