Coach of the Year:  

Robin Murphy - Seven Hills

Robin has coached swimming at Seven Hills for three years, and through her enthusiasm and dedication, she has built an outstanding swimming program.  This year, twenty-five student-athletes were members of the swim team, and it is the first time that Seven Hills has captured a league swimming title.  It was under Robin's leadership that this group was able to grow and come together as a cohesive, successful team.

Tim Sies - North College Hill

This was Tim's fourth year as part of the Trojan wrestling program and his third year as the head wrestling coach.  In the three years that Tim has been the head coach, the Trojans went from a team that filled about half of the weight classes to a team that fills almost all the weight classes.  The result is that North College Hill won its first ever wrestling league championship - an amazing accomplishment when you consider that wrestling has been a sport at North College Hill since 1972.  Tim is married with one child, and he is the Vocal Music Director at the school.
