1994 | Ann Fitzgerald

Although Ann Fitzgerald has many accomplishments on the race course, some of her best work has been in promoting APBA and the Race Against Drugs program.

An exceptional role model and teacher, she has spoken at many high schools on behalf of education and drug abuse awareness.

Fitzgerald served as Region 3 secretary and on the Winding River Boating Association for years. Nationally she served as 2.5 Litre Stock Hydro chair, as APBA commissioner, and on the Tech Committee; and chaired APBA's 84th Annual Meeting in Atlantic City.

Her titles include the Susquehanna Cup, 2.5 Litre High Point and Divisional titles, the Stanley R. Jones Sportsmanship Award, the Frank R. Connolly Memorial Award (four times), Ronnie Hearn Achievement Memorial Award, Region 3 High Point Championship and the Eddie Ralph Memorial Award. In 1991 she won two State Championships plus the APBA National Championship in Formula COBRA Hydro class. She set a 5-mile world record of 77.263 mph.
