2017 USTFCCCA High School Track & Field Coaches of the Year (State-By-State)
NEW ORLEANS — The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced Wednesday the state-by-state winners of its fourth 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.

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.
Last year’s winners were Pete Boudreaux of Catholic High School (Louisiana) and Jeff Carpenter of Bishop Kelly High School (Idaho).
The full lists of state-by-state winners can be seen below.
