On Thursday, February 21st, MPA Physical Education and Health teacher Sue Samuelson was inducted into the MSHSCA Girls Gymnastics Hall of Fame. Though never a gymnast herself, Sue learned to coach the sport when she took her first teaching job. Committed to the Title IV cause, she and her fellow teachers coached sports that they had never even played, all so that girls could have a wider variety of athletic opportunities.
Ms. Sam has served as a judge for 34 years, a rules clinician, a State Tournament official, a section meet manager, special olympics judge, and on the board of directors for the Gymnastics Officials Association. This is not the first Hall of Fame honor for Sue, who was inducted to the Bemiji State Hall of Fame in 2006 for her contributions to athletics. Congratulations, Ms. Sam!
