Coach of the Year
Jack Graham, Spring-Ford
In his first season at the helm of Spring-Ford, the former longtime coach at Perkiomen Valley led the Rams to their most PAC wins in recent memory, finishing 9-1 for second place in the league. The Rams sent three relays and four individual athletes to the District 1 championships and had junior Ashley Gutshall earn a medal at states. Spring-Ford also had the program’s first relay team at states as the 200 medley relay placed 12th at the PIAA championships.
