Reno's David Wise wins first career ESPY award

David Wise has won his share of medals and awards over the years, but he added his first ESPY to his trophy case Wednesday night.

The Reno native won the ESPY for top male action sports figure. Mammoth snowboarder Chloe Kim won the female award in the same category. The ESPYs are an ESPN event that annually honors the best in sports.

Wise won his second straight Olympic gold medal in the ski halfpipe earlier this year when he stomped a clutch third and final run after crashing out on his first two attempts. Wise scored a 97.
