The same goes for the Golden Pete Awards, Purdue Athletics’ annual award show for players, coaches and teams. The event takes place this weekend, Sunday evening at 7 p.m., and there will be awards ranging from male and female performance of the year to the Spark Plug Award, given to the student-athlete who “ignites his or her team with emotional leadership.”
So, with this information in hand, I am going to give a few of my predictions for the awards. You can find some here, today, with a full list of predictions going online on Friday.
Spark Plug Award: Ashley Burkhardt, Senior, First Baseman, Softball
The Boilers are one of the weaker offensive clubs in the Big Ten.
