Strege is NYSAAA Chapter 5 Athletic Administrator of the Year
The New York State Athletic Administrators Association (NYSAAA) has named Shawn Strege the Chapter 5 Athletic Administrator of the Year!
A 25-year veteran of Webster CSD, Strege is the director of health, physical education, and athletics for the Warriors, a role he has held since July 2018. Prior to then, he served as an assistant principal and a physical education teacher, all at Webster Schroeder High School.
NYSAAA’s Chapter 5 Athletic Administrator of the Year award is presented annually to an individual who has demonstrated evidence of devotion and idealism to athletics through NYSAAA.
“Your peers have recognized your hard work, dedication, and professionalism in the promotion of athletics in a positive manner,” Chapter 5 Chair Brian Donohue wrote in a November 19 letter announcing the honor.
Webster Schroeder High School Principal Paul Benz agrees. “Each year Shawn finds ways to make our athletic programs better for our athletes, coaches, supervisors, and spectators. He spreads the good about high school athletics, as is evident with his leadership work with our team captains and schools across the county,” he said. “The Schroeder brand shines because of his creativity and commitment to our student-athletes. We are fortunate to have him as our AD.”
Strege will receive the award at the Chapter 5 annual Dennis E. Fries Awards banquet to be held in June at the Genesee River Restaurant. He will also be recognized at the Roy O’Neill Awards dinner at the NYSAAA Conference in March.
