The Lompoc Locker Room People's Choice Female Athlete of the Year in Lompoc is Cabrillo golfer KELLIE GEORGE, it was announced today.
George easily outpolled her nearest pursuer 19-3 in public balloting.
"I'm going to stay with them," George announced today at a taping of Lompoc Locker Room-- the TV Show. "I'm going to be the assistant coach." George will attend Hancock College in the fall but the Bulldogs no longer field a women's golf team. George will assist CHS coach Gini Shekell, the woman George found last spring to coach at Cabrillo.
George was not only a player on the CHS team, she was the founder of it. She approached Cabrillo officials to suggest a girls team only to be told that to have one she needed players, money and a coach. She went out and found all of them. Then she won all-league honors on the links.
"People's Choice" Awards were determined by public vote. An earlier set of winners were determined by a select panel of sportswriters, broadcasters, athletic directors and sports officials. That group selected Cabrillo water polo star SARAH UR and Lompoc High soccer standout JANI CARMONA in a tie for female athlete of the year.
Earlier "People's Choice" winners were announced in Coach of the Year (boxing trainer ROY BACA) and Team of the Year (Cabrillo girls water polo). The "People's Choice" Male Athlete of the Year will be announced tomorrow.

GEOFF & JASON FALL TO SO. DAK.
Sioux Falls, SD – The University of Mary’s bid for another upset over a top-10 team fell just short Friday as the Marauders lost 79-66 to the third-ranked University of South Dakota Coyotes on the second and final day of the Sanford Clinic Holiday Classic.
U-Mary, down by as many as 11 points in the first half, closed out the first half down 32-28. Trailing by nine points early in the second half, GEOFF WEST hit a jumper in the lane and Jordan Engelhardt hit consecutive three-pointers to close the gap to one point.
The Marauders couldn’t maintain the pace, though, and a 10-0 run by the Coyotes a few minutes later pushed South Dakota to a 17-point lead with nine minutes left in the game.
Eric Erdmann led the Marauders with 22 points. West scored 18 points, knocking down 4-of-6 trey attempts and 7-of-11 shots from the field. He also had four assists.
U-Mary, which defeated eighth-ranked St. Cloud State two weeks ago, falls to 4-8 overall. South Dakota improves to 13-0.
