There has not been a basketball winner since 1989 nor a baseball winner since 1988. There has never been an award winner in Men's Tennis; the last great tennis star to make it on the professional circuit for the Wolverines was MaliVai Washington, 1988-89. Ben Flanagan and Katelynn Flaherty won for 2018; Flaherty was the first Women's Basketball player to do so. Women's Volleyball and Women's Golf are the only two sports not to have a Michigan Athlete of the Year, and are also the only two sports never to win a Big Ten Conference Championship.
