NOMINATIONS DUE BY OCT. 15th AT 11:59PM!
Even though all of our coaches, volunteers and athletes are all outstanding, we’re asking the MCA community to nominate individuals for the following awards. Each of the awards below will be presented virtually at the end of the season. The characteristics of the nominee matters, not the number of nominations submitted. Incomplete nominations will not be considered.
Nominate for MCA Head Coach of the Year Award
The MCA Head Coach of the Year Award recognizes a head coach whose efforts and leadership have inspired their athletes, assistant coaches and parents to achieve their individual and team goals. This award is not about points or time, but about character and empathy within a coach; who drives their athletes to success on or off the bike.
Nominate for MCA Assistant Coach of the Year Award
This award recognizes an assistant coach whose dedication and support for the team has resulted in positive outcomes for their students, their team and their community. They are a reliable partner for their head coach; they lead by example on and off the bike.
Nominate for the Volunteer Power Award
The Volunteer Power Award recognizes a non-coaching individual whose actions continually demonstrate commitment, enthusiasm and dedication to their team or MCA. This person positively impacts the riders, their team or their community with their efforts for the team, at the races or for MCA.
Nominate for MCA Student Athletes with Heart Awards
The Athletes with Heart Awards will honor two student-athletes who have embraced and model the core values of the Minnesota Cycling Association: building strong bodies, strong minds and strong character through cycling.
2023 Award Recipients
In past years, we’ve awarded the Golden McLeod to one male and one female student-athlete who recorded the most hours maintaining trails. For 2023, we changed things up. Throughout 2023, student-athletes and coaches performed trail work all across Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Hours reported to MCA were put into a drawing by participant and event and two names randomly pulled; one representing the D1 schools and one representing D2 schools.
2022 Award Recipients
Note: Golden McCleod Awards are presented to the student-athletes with the most reported trail work hours.
2021 Award Recipients
Note: Golden McCleod Awards are presented to the student-athletes with the most reported trail work hours.
