University of Hawaii football player Solomon Elimimian and Rainbow Wahine track and field "Germanator" Annett Wichmann, two of the most prolific athletes in

UH history, were named Jack Bonham Award winners at tonight's Scholar-Athlete Dinner, in Stan Sheriff Center.

The award is given annually to the top male and female senior student-athlete who "best exemplifies the ideals for which Jack Bonham stood for in the areas of athletic excellence, academic achievement, public service, leadership and character." Bonham, former UH assistant athletics director, died in a 1974 plane crash.

The night honored 183 student-athletes with at least a 3.0 grade point average. Every sport was represented except men's basketball.

Elimimian, from Los Angeles, is on the Mainland, where he will audition for

the Buffalo Bills this week. He is on track to graduate in English and left as the UH career leader in tackles. The two-time WAC first-team selection was last season's WAC co-Defensive Player of the Year.

Wichmann is one of the country's most talented and versatile track and field athletes. She is going after her fourth All-American honor this Outdoor season after earning it twice in pentathlon (Indoor season) and once in heptathlon. Wichmann has also won the last six WAC multi-event championships and is a two-time Academic All-American.
