MENCIMER MEMORIAL AWARD WINNERS

Since 1976, CSU has presented the Mencimer Memorial Award annually to its most outstanding female scholar-athlete, in memory of Catherine and Floyd Mencimer. Catherine J. Longmore (Mencimer) received her B.S. degree from Colorado State in 1936. She was active in the Women's Athletic Association and participated in field hockey, swimming and horeseback riding. Her husband, Floyd, earned his doctor of veterinary medicine in 1935. He lettered four years in football and baseball and was named all-conference in both sports as a senior. In 1973, he was named an Honorary Alumni Award winner. The Mencimers' three children all were involved in athletics as CSU students and initiated the award. The winner must be an upperclassman that has represented Colorado State in conference competition. Prior winners include April Thomas, Liz Toman, Shelly Greathouse (Borrman), Katherine Whitney and Marsha Landowski.
