Anderson wins third ESPY award

For the third time Jamie Anderson has taken home the honor of Best Female Action Sports Athlete at ESPN’s ESPY Awards.

“So thankful on so many levels! ✨✨✨ I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love, support & encouragement of my family, friends & of course my sponsors! Thanks for making my Dreams a reality! Unbelievably grateful,” she posted on Instagram.

The Meyers resident received the award in Los Angeles on July 13. She first earned the award in 2012, then again in 2014.

The Olympic gold medalist snowboarder’s home resort is Sierra-at-Tahoe. She won the slopestyle competition in the Sochi Games in 2014, and she is regularly on the podium at the X Games.
