NORTHWEST CONFERENCE – PERSON OF DISTINCTION AWARD
The Northwest Conference puts high value on celebrating our students, programs and communities throughout the school year. From “Leaders in Sportsmanship,” to “Coaches vs. Cancer” and “Only 7 Seconds,” The Northwest Conference consistently goes above and beyond with outreach to every school and their corresponding communities.
Starting this spring, each school in the NWC will have the opportunity to highlight someone from their community as a “Person of Distinction.” This honor will celebrate someone associated with each athletic program and draw a spotlight on the amazing selfless people who help make this conference so special!

I can’t think of a better person to be recognized in the Sehome community. She has coached basketball, fastpitch softball, kept the scorebook, swept the gym floor, and announced for numerous basketball games throughout her years at Sehome. I have had the pleasure of having her as an assistant coach and friend for 20 years. Not sure where the Sehome Fastpitch program would be without her. Her commitment to not only Sehome Athletics but to Sehome High School is second to none. Very excited to see her being recognized for all her time and effort.
