Then and now, here are SBLive's Senior Girl Athletes of the Year in Washington

This is the third year that SBLive WA has named each classification's best multi-sport athletes who fare well in school, community, too

Another year, another set of really impressive multi-sport seniors who wrapped up their high school tenures in June.

Again, the end-of-the-year stories and biography charts of all six girls were sponsored by WaFed Bank.

Criteria in a nutshell: Each of the athletes were all-league/all-state performers in at least two sports. Overall tenure was also a factor.
