The RSU14 grounds crew has won two
Fields of Excellence awards for the past year. One was for the football field
for the 2015 season and the other was for the softball fields for the 2015
season.
“Thanks for all the support over the
years and we will continue to try to stay at the top,” said grounds coordinator
Mike DiDonato, CSFM.
Windham High School was one of only four
schools in the nation to be selected for more than one field. A total of 84 awards
were given out from Pioneer Athletics, a company that sells products for sports
fields.
“Faced with tightened budgets and being
asked to do more with less, the field crews of these schools and organizations
exemplified team work and dedication in 2015,” said Pioneer Athletics. “It’s the space we’ve created to honor great work and to
foster school pride and community spirit in the process.”
The
schools that enter the competition send an essay on why their fields should be
honored and send pictures of the fields.
“We, in the softball program, are well
aware of the state of our field and appreciate all the hard work Mike, and his
crew, put into making it arguably the best facility in Maine (colleges
included). The field of excellence award
validates what we've known for years!” said softball coach Travis Demmons.
