Outstanding athlete awards
There will be 5 awards to be voted on by all coaches present at the meeting held the day or two after the state qualifier. These awards will go to the top 5 performers this season as decided by those present. All coaches will have a chance to discuss, nominate and perhaps even argue for their choices. The winners can come from all events and need not represent any distinct discipline or disclose any other event. The sole opinions will be those nice enough to come to the meeting. They will decide the criteria and the winners.
