    Dick Hoekstra

For his coverage, Hoekstra was presented with the Michigan Interscholastic Track Coaches Association (MITCA) 2004 Finish Line Award for outstanding contributions to the sport of cross country as well as the 2006 Eddy Award by the Honor Roll Track and Field Meet committee for outstanding contributions in advancing youth and high school track and field in the Lansing and Mid-Michigan area.
