Doc Martie & Ruth Russell Award

The Doc Martie and Ruth Russell Awards are given out annually to the University of Nevada's top male and female senior student-athletes.

The awards are named for J.E. "Doc" Martie, a former Nevada men's basketball coach (1923-29, 1930-39) and administrator, and Ruth I. Russell, a former director of women's athletics (1948-69).

Student-athletes are nominated by their head coaches and must be in their final year of eligibility and in good academic standing. The award winners are chosen in a vote by the athletics department staff.
