EMERIL NAMED

Elisabeth Cooke was named East Longmeadow Female Athlete of the Year by Masslive!

Her Indoor and Outdoor seasons were stellar, as she was also named Outstanding Performer by the Indoor Team.

Outdoors, she broke Danyelle' Thorpe's 2007 school record in the discus throw and also won the Western Mass. title in the same event.

In both seasons, she individually made it to the All-State Championships.

Congratulations to "Emeril" as she takes her skills to Regis College where she also was a recipient of an MSTCA scholarship.

Nicely done!

THREE TIME COACH OF THE YEAR: THANK YOU LADYSPARTANS!

The sheer delight of having the Legendary Dick Atkinson and the Incredible Lou Tozzi present me with this award makes the circle complete.

Lou Tozzi was the person that got me totally involved with the MSTCA and becoming an E-Board member. He is a huge advocate of youth sports, particularly Track and Field and is a no nonsense type of guy that puts on clinics and meets each year. As the James Bond theme goes "Nobody does it better".

I met Dick Atkinson in 1974 while running Cross Country. He is the most popular coach ever from Western Mass. When I first started coaching at the high school level, he was one of my opponents, but you would never know it. Always the gentleman and always supportive. I have learned so much from him including the ability to give instructions to runners in competition from anywhere in the arena and they KNOW it's me!
