The IATC 25 year award is one of the highest honors a coach can receive and the award would not be possible without nominations. Thank you for your help nominating those coaches who deserve the recognition. Please continue to help by educating other schools in your area of the award. Before making a nomination, please review the following requirements so that we have the opportunity to honor those who have devoted their time and efforts to track and field and/or cross country. All nominations from athletic directors need to be received by April 1st in order to honor at the State Meet presentation. Recipients must qualify under ALL of the requirements.

Requirements for the IATC 25 year coaching award include:

  • Must have coached for 25 years in the sport(s) of track and field and/or cross country.
  • Must have coached in Iowa for the 25 years.
  • While counting years, count schools’ calendar years not seasons (i.e. coaching track and cross country this year does not count as “2 years”).
  • Can coach either high school, middle school/junior high, or any combination as head and/or assistant coach as long as above requirements are followed.
  • Years counted towards this award must be years where a coach is under contract (i.e not as a volunteer coach)

If such requirements are satisfied please submit your nomination to mitch.anderson@mtpcsd.org with the following information:

Again, I would like to thank you for taking the time to help nominate those coaches that deserve recognition for their hard work towards the sport!
