NWAACC Athletic Achievement Award -- Art Feiro Award

The Art Feiro award is given yearly to the top male and female scholar athletes in the NWAACC. The award is named after the former athletic director at Peninsula Community College who was the Executive Secretary of the NWAACC between 1967 and 1975.
