Tulsa World sports columnist Guerin Emig has been named the 2017 Oklahoma Sports Writer of the Year by the National Sports Media Association.

It's the third year in a row that a writer from the World has earned the honor. High school writer Mike Brown won in 2016 and Barry Lewis won in 2015. Emig is recognized for the first time.

Since 2003, a World writer has been named the Oklahoma NSMA sports writer of the year 12 times.

Emig graduated from Tulsa's Booker T.
