Each year, the athletic department honors the best student-athletes, coaches and administrators in an award setting that the athletic department calls the “TECHSPY Awards”. It’s a fun event and it’s an event where the student athletes get a chance to get dressed up and be honored for their achievements as student athletes.
This year, the TECHSPY Awards recognized the following student athletes:
The award for outstanding community service was presented to Adrian Gregory’s softball program while women’s track and field athlete Andi Morgan received the Margaret E. Wilson award as well as the Big 12 Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement honor.
Tech also honored its top graduating seniors for each sport: Bethany Hale (soccer), Justis Nelson (football), Andi Morgan (women’s track and field), Jenna Allen (volleyball), Matias Dominguez (men’s golf), Jordan Bettiol (softball), Sarah Toti (women’s tennis), Tyler Floyd (baseball), Jamie Roe (women’s basketball), Kory Mauritsen (men’s track and field), Stephanie Bertelsen (women’s golf) and Evan Nix (men’s tennis).
On the athletic side of the awards, soccer All-American Janine Beckie was named the Female TECHSPY while JaCorian Duffield, the 2015 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Champion in the high jump, collected Male TECHSPY honors.
Coach of the year on the women’s side went to Tom Stone, who also won team of the year, and Wes Kittley was named the men’s coach of the year.
