Best Sports Section/Category 23 First place Brad Saleik, Fort Wayne News-Sentinel Comments: Best of the group.

Impressive design and use of graphics. Content is diverse and comprehensive. Second place Staff, Tribune-Star (Terre Haute) Comments: Great-looking section. Typography is topnotch, and breakout graphics/sigs are done well. Content is solid, but a bit more enterprise would make the section stronger.
