The Margaret Klann Coach of the Year Award

This award is named for that grand lady who, in 1966 founded the United States Intercollegiate Archery Championships (USIAC) and in 1972, founded the College Division of the NAA and originated the idea of a Collegiate All-American Team. She coached the Arizona State University Team from 1946 to 1976. She is affectionately referred to as the Mother of Collegiate Archery. Margaret lived in Tempe, Arizona until her death in September 2000.
Each year at USIAC the General Assembly of the College Division conducts an annual meeting and the representatives nominate coaches for this prestigious award. The recipients of this award exemplify those special qualities of the highest caliber that are found in every coach who has established a winning tradition like Margaret Klann.
