ANNUAL CHAMPIONS POSTED
The updated AAA Annual Champions by Sport are posted on our Schedules/Results/Standings page under the SPORTS menu item above. Being that the AAA dates back to 1924, there are a number of years in various sports for which we have been unable to determine the champion. We are, therefore, requesting your assistance in helping us "fill in the blanks." If you have any information that might shed some light on those "dark years", please call us at 415-920-5185 or send an e-mail to John Zlatunich. Together we can create and build a concise history of the AAA!
