58 National Silver Gloves champions were crowned in 1997.

Silver Gloves now crowns regional champions, so recent years list the champion's region rather than their state. Earlier tournaments recorded the state, and a few years in between list a mix of the two. Weight classes and age brackets have also changed over the years.
