PRESS RELEASE | On Wednesday, the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association released its selections for the 2022 High School Track & Field Coaches of the Year awards.
Now in the eighth year of the award selection, the USTFCCCA recognizes one boys and one girls high school track and field coach from each state, including the District of Columbia, for a total of 102 honorees.
A committee determines the state-by-state award winners based on a variety of factors, including overall team performance and other specific metrics such as team score at state championship meets, championship margins of victory, individual championship wins and performances in relation to rankings and team history.
State winners are eligible for the National High School Track & Field Coaches of The Year awards given to the top boys and girls track and field coaches, both chosen by a USTFCCCA expert panel and set for release next month.
