The Outstanding Senior Athlete Award goes to a student-athlete that is graduating and has had a successful career in athletics at Adrian College. Coaches or Athletic Department staff members nominate athletes based on their success in athletics during their entire career based on awards, statistics, records, and leadership. At the end of each academic year, the nominees are voted on by the entire Athletic Department to determine the Outstanding Senior Athlete Award. Most of these student-athletes move on to be inducted into the Adrian College Athletic Hall of Fame in the future. The Male Outstanding Senior Athlete Award began in 1951, while the Female Outstanding Senior Athlete Award began in 1979.
*Note: There is no record from 1958-63.*
