Central College received three awards in the College Sports Communicators’ Fred Stabley Sr. Writing Contest, with two of them being national honors. The institution has a long history of success in this competition, with one entry recognized last year and three entries receiving recognition this year.
One of the awards was for first place in the Coach/Administrator Profile category in the CSC College Division. The winning feature, titled “Teachers of the game” from Civitas magazine, highlighted faculty members Keith Jones and Russ Goodman who also serve as assistant coaches for softball and women’s soccer respectively. This award showcases Central’s commitment to recognizing and celebrating its faculty members who make significant contributions to both teaching and coaching at the college level.
Another award Central received was for second place nationally and first place in District 7 for Event Coverage. The article titled “Believe it! Terrell shot seals Central men’s basketball crown” covered an American Rivers title-clinching victory at Simpson College. This award highlights Central’s ability to provide comprehensive coverage of major events on campus, including sports competitions that hold significant importance to students and fans alike.
A profile of former Central defensive back Adam Gregg ’06, who now serves as Iowa’s lieutenant governor, titled “Schipper Stadium path leads to Iowa Capitol for Gregg,” took second place in District 7 in the General Feature/Blog category. This award showcases Central’s dedication to highlighting alumni who have achieved great success after graduation and how their experiences at the college have shaped their future endeavors.
