Olympic League coach awards

Sequim boys coach Harold Huff and Port Angeles girls coach Cheryl Gerardi were named Olympic League coaches of the year.

Huff led the Wolves to a league title district title and fifth-place finish at the 2A state meet.

“Harold is always very humble and a pleasure to be around during meets,” Port Angeles athletic director Dwayne Johnson said.

“What a fantastic job of start to end with such a young team. Their time difference from first to fifth is just incredible.”

In her first hear coaching the Roughrider girls team, Gerardi guided Port Angeles to a league title, third place at the West Central District meet and 14th at state.

Kingston earned the sportsmanship award.

“One of the [girls] literally ripped her knee apart at our home meet and required surgery. [It] was a freak accident,” Johnson said.

“I saw her at the league championships, and she was gracious and happily being pushed around in her wheelchair by her teammates. Her parents and coaches were very nice as well.

“They are one of the few teams that make an effort to talk with other teams before and after meets.”
