Nominations are to be received by NCASB swim director (Sharon Shaw-OH) by the designated datel. Nominations sent after this date will not be accepted.
Name of the swimmer, his/her school and a short paragraph (with a photo) should be submitted.
A list of nominees will then be sent via e-mail to each school to be received by the Friday before the conference meet.
During the conference meet, coaches will evaluate nominees. Each school will have 1 vote for a girl and 1 vote for a boy. Votes are to be turned in immediately following the conclusion of the 400 relays.
Each winner will receive a plaque. The winner’s school will engrave the winner’s name, if desired. There will be traveling plaques to be housed at the Wisconsin School for the Visually Handicapped. The Wisconsin school will be responsible for keeping the plaque updated (The NCASB will pay for the engraving).
