@UT_CSCM So happy to see this new award established after PEN dropped their sports book prize some years ago. Tough year! I’ve read both @bySLPrice and @SethWickersham and they are excellent finalists. Much more to be read now. Congratulations to all.
Thank you to the Dan Jenkins Medal judges for including ON HER GAME: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women’s Sports in their inaugural Best Sports Book category. Honored to be mentioned with so many friends, colleagues and fellow authors. @ScribnerBooks
What an honor (and what a nice bday surprise) to have A Big Mess in Texas selected by @UT_CSCM as a finalist for the Dan Jenkins Medal alongside these incredible authors.
Congratulations to David Fleming (@FlemFile) who's been nominated as a finalist for 2026 Dan Jenkins Medal for Excellence in Sportswriting for Best Sports Book for A BIG MESS IN TEXAS!

Honored to be named one of six finalists for the Dan Jenkins Medal for Student Sportswriting for my Washington Post story on Sean Asa Hicks as a junior last year at @merrillcollege.
I explored Hicks’ battle with retinitis pigmentosa and while learning how to wrestle.
I’m honored to be selected as a finalist alongside several incredibly talented journalists for the Student Sportswriting award.
My story, Part I of a series, focused on the history on acrobatics and tumbling through the eyes of coaches and athletes who created and innovated it.
We're excited to launch the Dan Jenkins Medal for Student Sportswriting, which is open to any student publishing on any platform. Check out the work from these five finalists at https://t.co/786qHHGbpJ, representing UFlorida, UMaryland, UOregon, UColorado, and PSU-Bellisario.
