“I’ve been honored to receive this award from the IIAAA. I appreciate the kind words, the nomination from good friend Chad Gilbert, the early support from Bob B. Bridge, and so many coaches, athletes, and athletic directors who have helped me along in 36 years of covering sports. And special thanks to my wife Susan Martin Sokeland and my family. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m not done yet,” said Sokeland on his Facebook page.
