2016 High School Track & Field Coaches of the Year
By Tyler Mayforth, USTFCCCA
July 26, 2016
NEW ORLEANS — The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced Tuesday its state-by-state winners of the its third annual High School Coach of the Year Award for track & field.
Started in 2014, the award is bestowed to selected coaches based on a number of criteria: their teams’ finishes at their respective state championships, the number of different events in which athletes were qualified, individual championships and how their teams’ performances stack up to previous years, among other criteria.
One boys coach and one girls coach from each state — and the District of Columbia — is selected, except in the case of Girls Coach of the Year in Georgia, where there we co-Coaches of the Year.
Each honoree will receive a trophy from the USTFCCCA recognizing his or her achievements.
As a bonus, the winners from each state are now in consideration for the USTFCCCA’s National High School Track & Field Coach of the Year Award. One boys coach and one girls coach will be chosen by a panel of experts and those names will be announced later this month.
The full lists of state-by-state winners can be seen below.
