Male Athlete Annual Honor Roll

2024 Southern Arizona Male Athlete Honor Roll



2024 Southern Arizona Female Athlete Honor Roll

AllSportsTucson.com is recognizing the top male athletes of 2024 in Southern Arizona in youth sports, high schools and colleges (Pima College and Arizona). The criteria for the honor roll: player of the year honors recognized by coaches and media and high placement in state or national events in high school and beyond. Readers also provided input in a recent inquiry on social media. We tried to limit the list to those with the HIGHEST OF HONORS in their respective sport. The honor roll is listed in alphabetical order. We will consider any recommended inclusion as long as the message to us is positive and professional and not condescending or argumentative. We will not include athletes based only on all-region picks or second-team, third-team or honorable-mention selections.

Sunnyside’s Sergio Vega won his third state title at 138 pounds as well as captured the Super 32 Challenge Championship at 138 pounds, National High School Coaches Association (NHSCA) Nationals title, USA Wrestling’s Fargo (N.D.)
