The MileSplit film, 'Caitlin Little: Fifteen Forever,' placed sixth overall in the Video Athlete Profile category on Thursday during the 2021 International Sports Press Association's (AIPS) Sports Media Awards, a contest recognizing the best sports content across the world over the calendar year.
Judged across five voting stages, the awards content was reviewed by 40 professionals from 35 nations, culminating in a final reveal, which awarded the top three finishers in each category.
The stages included the long list, the short list, the top 10 nominees, the top three finalists and the overall winners.
Produced by MileSplit and FloSports, 'Caitlin Little: Fifteen Forever' told the story of Caitlin Little, a high school athlete and runner from North Carolina who suffered a head injury that, coupled with Lyme disease, left her with a rare form of amnesia and changed her day-to-day life forever.
The film was produced by Cory Mull, photographed by Bryan Diebel and edited by Laura Andrews. It saw direction from Cliff Bogart and Joe Battaglia.
Held since 2018, the AIPS Sports Media Awards amassed over 1,700 submissions from every continent across photography, writing, audio, video, young reporter and special awards categories.
