Kent resident and Seattle Seahawks fan Nicolle Jefferies received a VIP tour of CenturyLink Field and other prizes as one of 10 winners in the MTR Western Seattle’s Ultimate Sports Fan contest.

MTR Western, the official bus transportation company of the Seahawks, Mariners and Sounders, began the search for Seattle’s loudest and proudest fans on Jan. 7 through a social media contest asking fans to upload their craziest fan photo with the hashtag #MTRSportsStar.

Ten winners were selected on Monday based on the top photo submissions.

Jefferies and the winners on Wednesday were treated to VIP tours of CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field, traveled on the official MTR Western Seahawks motor coach, a VIP tour of the Mariners’ Clubhouse and Press Room, photos on CenturyLink Field and custom jerseys.

They also each received two tickets to the 79th Annual MTR Western Sports Star of the Year Awards Jan. 22 at Benaroya Hall that honors the top athletes, coaches and teams in Seattle. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is one of the nominees for Male Sports Star of the Year.
