Beyond the arc
I never would have imagined that creating a list of the Marion County's top 100 athletes would be so popular.
People from across the county have nominated athletes from the early '50s to the present — and they just keep pouring in.
Folks have been nominating athletes since we announced the concept some months ago. They've been sending excellent biographical information about athletes, and we're getting excited about preparing the list of 100.
In the Sept. 24 issue of the Marion County Record, I will announce those who will be judging the list of the Top 100 Marion County athletes.
This process has been interesting as well. If you can find time, let me know who you would like to judge this list.
Naturally, we have some folks in mind, but we'd love to hear from you.
After our independent panel ranks the athletes, we'll publish 10 athletes per week, beginning with 100 through 90, and continue doing so until we reach No. 1. After the list has reached No. 1, all of those nominated and the Top 100 athletes will be listed.
There's a lot of great athletes out there. Maybe your favorite will be No. 1.
