2013 Athletes of the Year--Women Outdoor

Trumpets blaring!  I'm almost done!!
And as they say, last but definitely NOT least, my picks for Outdoor Women's AOY!!

World Ourdoor, Women
AOY:  VALERIE ADAMS
This was the closest contest of them all!  I so wanted to give it to Shelly-Ann, but the fields she faced were missing (for the most part) 2 giants, Veronica Campbell Brown and Carmelita Jeter.  And the others were generally up and down.  Adams, meanwhile, faced everyone available, and "put" them away with power and grace!  The Queen of the Shot!!
