State-By-State 2015 High School Track & Field Coaches of the Year Announced

NEW ORLEANS – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced Monday the state-by-state winners of its second annual High School Coach of the Year award for track & field.
One boys coach and one girls coach from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia – as seen in the lists below – were honored for their successes during the 2015 track & field season, as selected by a committee of experts from around the nation.
State-by-state winners were selected based on their teams’ performances throughout the 2015 track & field season. Among the factors taken into consideration were team score and placement at the state championships, the number of different events in which student-athletes were qualified, individual championships, and how their teams’ performances stacked up to previous years (ex. First title in school history, consecutive titles, etc.).
Each honoree will receive a trophy from the USTFCCCA recognizing his or her achievements.
The winners from each state are in consideration for the association’s National High School Track & Field Coach of the Year award. One boys coach and one girls coach from among all the states will be selected by a panel of experts and be announced later this month as the national winners.
In addition to earning a trophy as the national winner, the two 2015 track & field honorees will be recognized alongside the two 2014 National High School Cross Country Coaches of the Year, Bill Aris (Fayetteville Manlius HS/New York) and Bill Miles (Wayzata HS/Minnesota).
The full lists can be seen below.
