The 2025 Greater Wichita Sports Banquet will be held Thursday, June 26th at INTRUST Bank Arena, and promises to be an evening filled with fun and excitement. There will be a reception preceding the banquet and a live auction prior to the awards ceremony.

The Greater Wichita Sports Banquet is an annual event that celebrates sports excellence in south-central Kansas. Awards presented include: Lynette Woodard High School Female Athlete of the Year; Barry Sanders High School Male Athlete of the Year; Junior College and College Female and Male Athletes of the Year; Professional Athlete of the Year and the Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year Award.

The three finalists for each award are nominated by area athletic directors. The list of nominees is given to a panel of the area sports media to narrow the list down to three finalists. This group will cast their final votes to select a winner in each category which is announced at the banquet in June.
