    As is tradition for the end of the National Greyhound Association’s meets, the Greyhound Hall of Fame hosted their annual celebration for the winners of the All-Star, best sprinter and best distance awards.

    This year marks the first year of changes for the awards. The hall will be naming dogs for the All-star team instead of the All-American team; the best sprinter award instead of the Rural Rube Award; and the best distance award instead of the Flashy Sir Award. Jim Gartland, director of the NGA and board member of the hall of fame, said the hall of fame decided to change the awards given out to respect past winners and acknowledge the current landscape of greyhound racing.
