| Sask Sport Inc. announced the finalists and recipients for the 2011 Saskatchewan Sport Awards, which includes the Athlete of the Year Awards Finalists, and the Award Recipients for the Coaching Awards, the Volunteer Awards and the Officials’ Awards. The Saskatchewan Sport Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of Saskatchewan amateur athletes and those individuals who provide their support so these athletes can achieve their goals. This year, the committee received 72 nominations for the various award categories. Gymnastics Saskatchewan is pleased to announce that Markos Baikas, Head Coach of Saskatoon’s Taiso Gym Club, Gymnastics Saskatchewan’s High Performance Coach, and Gymnastics Canada’s National Junior Coach, has been selected as Sask Sport’s Coach of the Year for 2011. Markos has had an outstanding year, coaching his athletes to international, national and provincial medals. We are also proud to announce that Curtis Graves, also of the Taiso Gymnastics Club, has been selected as a finalist in the Youth Athlete of the Year category. Curtis competed as a Junior National Team member last year, winning countless medals and awards in international and national level competitions. The Youth Athlete of the Year winner will be announced at a later date. Congratulations to Markos and Curtis! Please join Gymnastics Saskatchewan, our board and staff, in celebrating the successes of these two individuals. Sask Sport has made some changes to the Saskatchewan Sports Awards program. A Sport Awards Banquet will not be held this year - instead, they are going to celebrate and profile the achievements of Saskatchewan’s top athletes, teams, coaches, officials and volunteers throughout the year. |
