Friend of Athletics Recipients
In 2013, the members of the Southwest District Athletic Board initiated an award entitled "Friend of Athletics". The objective of the award was to recognize individuals who go beyond the call of duty to see that their local high school athletic programs give their athletes the very best experience. The award is given to individuals who have given twenty-five or more years of volunteer service. Since the inception of the award, sixty-six individuals have been honored. Individuals are nominated by their local school administration.
This year we honor thirteen individuals:
Mr. Robert Baechtold, Summit Country Day H.S.
