The KTCCCA Hall of Fame Committee is proud to announce the 5 coaches that will be inducted into the Kentucky Track and Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame on Saturday, January 10.  The induction ceremonies will take place at the 4^th Annual Ky. USATF & KTCCCA Awards and Hall of Fame Banquet that will be held in the Hall of Fame Room at the KHSAA Offices on Executive Drive in Lexington, Kentucky. 

The Hall of Fame Committee selected the 5 outstanding coaches from a list of 11 that had been nominated by their peers in the coaching ranks.  Attached you will find a nomination form that you can use to nominate other deserving coaches as well as a banquet reservation form so you can come and be a part of the ceremonies on January 10.

As the Chair of the KTCCCA Hall of Fame Committee I would like to congratulate all five of these individuals and we hope to see all of you at the banquet as we honor them and recognize their accomplishments through the years in Kentucky running circles.
