There were many ties for second and third place this year, so a lot of people received awards not listed above. The full list of winners, including second and third places, can be viewed at Muskies Winners for 2013. The Muskies Awards section has been updated with a new page that describes the award categories, as well as separate pages for list the winners of each year.
I will be sending PMs to all award winners to present them with special banners created in recognition of their achievements tomorrow. I would usually do this today, but I'm pretty tired after compiling these results and making the banners after the last 36 hours without sleep. Please wear them ploudly!
Congratulations to all winners! If you did not win, you have my condolences. Don't fret, though. There's always next year's Muskies! Remember that several categories considered all previous activity because they were newly added this year; that won't be the case when those categories return next year.
