10/29/2009

Dan Cummins is the recipient of the 2009 Interscholastic Athletic Official Association Award for excellence in the sport of cross country. Cummins will be honored in a special ceremony at Saturday’s state finals tournament.

Each year, the Indiana High School Athletic Association, in cooperation with the National Federation of Interscholastic Officials Association, recognizes and honors an outstanding official in each of 11 sports during the school year.

During his career, Cummins has worked 20 sectionals, 10 regionals, five semi-states, and one state final (2007). He was selected for this honor by a committee representing the official’s associations. In Indiana there are 26 associations made up of men and women who give up much of their personal time to assist in providing wholesome, worthwhile, and healthy activities for the student athletes in our state. Statewide, there are more than 8,000 officials licensed by the IHSAA in 11 sports.

A member of the Indiana Officials Association, Cummins has served as a clinician for the last five years. He is also a member of the Mid-Hoosier Officials Association, in which he has served for three years. In addition to being a member of the IOA and MHOA, Cummins has taught classes for new officials for the past five years.

He competed as an athlete in the 1972 cross country state finals for Warren Central. After graduating in 1973, he joined the U.S. Navy and is currently employed by Manufacturers Marketing in Westfield, where he works in the sales department. He resides in New Palestine with his wife, Susie. They have one daughter, Kristin.
