leadership, athletic development and higher
education through track and field.
JEAN E. BELL (JEUNESS TRACK CLUB- HEAD COACH)

contributions toward creating a path for girls in sport through track and
field. And presenting the award is AAU Track & Field Chairman Charles
Oliver and AAU Track & Field National Secretary Karen Hall.
Award
Presentation Notes
The
AAU track and field awards recognize outstanding contributions by coaches and
clubs toward the development of youth athletes across America. Awards are given based on work and
accomplishments during the prior calendar year.
2020
was a particularly challenging year for us all.
The stresses and demands of the Covid-19 pandemic forced coaches and
clubs alike to be creative in unprecedented ways to keep athletes safe during
training and competition. Still,
coaches, clubs, officials, parents and families all
banded together like never before to support our youth.
Awards
are given to coaches, clubs and officials.
Coach
of the Year
One
coach from each of the four Zones across the country is recognized as the Zone
Coach of the Year and one of the zone winners is selected as the National
Coach of the year.
·
As always, selection is an extremely
difficult decision because of the great work done by coaches across the
country.
Zone
A
· This
coach took her duties beyond the track.
Faced with restrictions on training and competition facilities, this
coach took her efforts to City and County officials.
· On
the track she re-organized her practice sessions into small groups to allow for
social distancing.
· She
encouraged her parents and athletes to join or renew their AAU memberships
early so they could participate when entries were limited.
· She
organized virtual training sessions and chat groups for parents to support each
other and each other’s children with virtual schooling.
· The Zone
A winner, from the New Jersey Supersonics, is Charlene Hunter-Cumberbatch.
Zone
B
· This
coach’s athletes won 4 individual national championship events, 2 national
relay events, 21 All-American medals and swept the 13-year-old girls’ sprint
and middle-distance events.
· Pandemic
restrictions meant that church parking lots and open grass fields would become
this coach’s training ground. Frequent
hand-washing and mobile sanitizing stations became a regular part of the tool
kit.
· Organizing
community food drives, mask drives and donation of used athletic shoes to
underprivileged kids abroad occupied the time off the track.
· This
year’s Zone B winner, from Five-Star-General Athletics in Florida, is Haile Hoo.
· This
coach is recognized as much for her inspiration of athletes off the track as on
it. Several of her athletes went to
college on athletic scholarships.
· She
took to Zoom to educate parents about keeping athletes safe during the
pandemic.
· When
faced with no competitions, she hosted them herself to provide competition
opportunities for her athletes.
· While
some restrict their involvement to the track, this coach’s tireless efforts
continue in XC season and indoor track.
· The
Zone C winner, from Rush Athletics in Illinois, is Nicole
Lincoln.
She won this award in the inaugural year,
three years ago. The 2021 AAU National Coach of the Year is Nicole
Lincoln.
Club of the Year
Zone
A
· This
club’s playbook over the past year included social media platforms for virtual
training and information sessions on college admissions and other topics.
· Pandemic
notwithstanding, this club partnered with local civic associations to support
local small businesses, conduct food drives and
distribute Covid protection gear and supplies.
· Their
virtual training extended to 5 and 6 year olds.
· The
Zone A Club of the Year, is Dale City Lightning Track Club.
Zone
B
· This
club performed so well at the 2020 national championships it was recognized by
a local business and local television for its achievements.
· Free
training sessions via Zoom was part of the toolkit for this club also.
· The
services of a therapist to support athletes with life struggles they may face
away from the track rounds out this club’s holistic approach to training.
· Twice
a year the club serves the homeless in its community with its “Feed the Homeless”
program.
· Away
from the track, athletes receive free ACT/SAT tutoring.
· For
the second consecutive year, the Zone B Club of the Year, from New Orleans,
is Sprint NOLA Track Club.
Zone C
· 11
of this club’s athletes received All-American awards at the AAU 14 and under
indoor championship.
· During
practices, this club used distance markers and cones as visual cues for
athletes to social distance.
· When
there was no competition, this club create its own by hosting intra-club
competition. And just to make it fun and
involve the whole family, parents were invited to wear green for the St
Patrick’s Day competition and red, white and blue for
the July 4th competition.
· The
Zone C Club of the Year is Kenosha Shock Waves.
The 2021 AAU National Club of the Year
Award goes to Sprint NOLA Track Club.
Mary
Sparn Official of the Year
None
of the competitions, XC or T&F would be possible without the tireless
efforts of officials who volunteer their time, energy
and expertise to make the high level of competition possible.
· This
official has demonstrated her thorough knowledge of the rules of competition
and applied them diligently, fairly, and always very inconspicuously in the
background.
· She
is particularly known for assisting parents who are new to AAU to navigate what can seem like
the daunting process of registration and getting involved with competition for
the first time.
· She
exemplifies the values of an AAU official by encouraging athletes to have fun
and enjoy the competition experience.
· The
world of track and field competition among youth would be difficult if not
impossible without the unwavering contributions of officials like this year’s
winner.
The
Mary Sparn Official of the Year award winner is
Danette Young-Stone.
