All, The PCCSC Executive Committee is looking for nominations for the Mikey Murison Memorial Sportsmanship award. Nominations should be submitted via email to the Conference Commissioner ([email protected]) by April 24, 2018.
Mikey Murison embodied the spirit of college sailing and the PCCSC in his student leadership and sportsmanship. I had the pleasure of sailing against him while I was in school and his passion for sailing and involving others in our sport was without match. Mikey lost his fight with cancer in 2004 but his memory lives on in this award, which recognizes outstanding sportsmanship in our conference. Mikey would be proud to know of the tradition that he inspired. *Mikey Murison Memorial Sportsmanship Award* Dedicated January 2005 *The Michael Murison Memorial Sportsmanship Award shall be awarded each year to the sailor that best exemplifies the Corinthian ideals of sailing. This sailor has made contributions to college sailing through his/her efforts, not only by competing, but in the promotion of the sport, by fostering sportsmanship among teams, maintaining quality of competition, and contributing to the overall performance of our conference. This includes factors like team leadership, PCCSC leadership, college sailing dedication, interest and support of growth in (college) sailing, etc.* *Nominations may be made by Undergraduates or Graduates involved in the Conference.
