Veteran Husky swimming coach Doug Peargin has been named 2001 Northwest Section Coach of the Year for the sport of girls swimming and diving.
Peargin was notified recently of the honor. The Northwest Section includes teams in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.
The NFCA is the official national coaches association of the National Federation of State High School Associations.
Peargin earned the award in 1992 and humbly called it, “A good deal.”
Peargin has coached in Sweet Home for 28 years and had coached for seven years in California.
“Your contributions to high school athletics are truly deserving of our recognition and thanks,” said Dan McShannock, NFCA president. “As the Northwest sectional winner you are automatically a finalist for the national coach of the year in your sport.”
Peargin has been invited to attend the national awards banquet in Montgomery, Ala. on July 20, 2002.
