More than 120 student-athletes, managers and coaches were recognized for their hard work and performance at this year’s spring awards banquet.

A special tribute was paid to coach Cliff Burt who will be retiring following this weekend’s state track meet in Wichita. Burt will wrap up a 40-year coaching career with most of that span at Great Bend High School as shot put and discus coach. Burt was a two-time state champion in 1970 and 1971 and still the Great Bend High School record holder in the shot. He coached seventeen total athletes to the finals at the state level and guided 13 state championships, 35 total medalists and 58 state final finishes.

Six individuals were honored as three-sport award winners. Requirements for the award include senior status, completion in good standing in a fall, winter and spring sport and establishment as a letter winner in each of the three sports.

Natasha Bieker - football (mngr.), volleyball (mngr.), girls basketball (mngr.), baseball (mngr.), track (mngr.)
