Brown, Minnesota Lynx guard Teresa Edwards, St. Louis Rams wide receiver Torry Holt, Olympic gold medalist Paul Hamm, and St. Louis Blues center Doug Weight.

Along with the awards dinner, the weekend included "Good Sports Nite," where 200 students from the Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club participated in fun physical activities and adults were also offered sessions on their role in athletics. The program also featured "Good Sports Day," a symposium offering youth and high school coaches, parents and administrators coaching tips from six St. Louis University head coaches.
