>Coach Keppel Courage Award
This year we are beginning the Coach Keppel Courage Award to be given to one male and one female cross country athlete from the conference. The winners would have demonstrated many of the qualities that Coach Keppel so greatly exemplified in the final years of his life (courage, inspiration, and dedication to their team). By Friday September 11, coaches should send their nominations to Chris Loth (cloth@pasco.k12.fl.us). Nominations should include a brief written explanation of the athlete and how they have demonstrated the traits mentioned. A ballot will be constructed and distributed and a winner for each gender determined. At the SAC awards ceremony, the winning athlete will receive a personal award and one to display at their school until the next year. If you need more direction, here is the wording that will be on the plaque:
"Given yearly to a Pasco county cross country runner who embodies Coach Keppel's drive to finish the race, keep the faith and never give up."
>Senior Morning Recognition - In order to recognize all our senior athletes we are asking that each coach send in the names of seniors to cloth@pasco.k12.fl.us by 9/11. Athletes will have the opportunity to be called up to the front of the stands during the awards ceremony with their families for a chance to take a picture.
