Ahhhh the glorious shank bone award. Each year a member of the UCSC Swimming and Diving Team is elected to carry forth the sacred dog bone for their prowess in stupid actions and yardage evasion. Though the origins of the award are shrouded in mystery, there have been some notable figures in the past decade.
