Wendy Westfall (golf) and Jason Botterill (hockey) won Spirit Awards, given to seniors who epitomize the enthusiasm and love of Michigan of Bob Ufer, a long-time Ann Arbor insurance agent whose unabashed broadcasting style of Wolverine football games won him wide recognition.

Bob Chappuis, a halfback who played for Coach Fritz Crisler in the late 1940s, was given the Bennie Oosterbaan award, given each year to someone who had an outstanding career at Michigan, and then in the 25 or more years since graduation has made a significant contribution to society.
