Tom Shanahan's profile of Dawn Halfaker won first place for sports stories at the 35th annual San Diego Press Clubs Awards Dinner on Oct. 21 at the Hall of Champions. The story was published July 17, 2007: Capt. Dawn Halfaker (U.S. Army retired), a basketball star at West Point and three-sport athlete at Rancho Bernardo High, lost her right arm on the frontlines in Iraq and has since founded a security consulting company, Halfaker and Associates.
