June 1, 20188 yr The KHSSA will now recognize a student athlete who participates in a sport across the three seasons (fall, winter, spring). I know they generally do not get a lot of love from folks on BGP but I feel this is a great move. By recognizing these athletes it shows the hard work and dedication it takes to not only play 3 sports but also the hard work they put in the classroom as well. This recognition may help HS sports get more participation from those that maybe a 1 sport athlete. My kids both received this award last night an I know how hard they work in both areas to succeed an its nice to see that others also see that hard work too.
June 1, 20188 yr My son was recognized as well and I am also glad they recognize these student athletes ... Its tough trying to keep up with their school work and practices and games , it’s like a juggling act sometimes ... congrats to all the student athletes that received this award across the state , they are all deserving ...

June 1, 20188 yr Any one have a list of winners? KHSSA - Stats/Records - Reports & Info. If I were tech savy I would include a link so this is the best I can do. Here's an existing BGP thread that might be helpful - http://bluegrasspreps.com/ky-baseball-high/the-inherent-risk-365163-page2.html And from theguru's post in that thread: "New Triple Threat Award recognizes three-season, multi-sport Athletes" - KHSAA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 14, 2018 In an effort to continue the national emphasis and the KHSAA’s own efforts to de-emphasize sports specialization in the athletic culture, the Association recently launched the “Triple Threat Award” program to recognize those students who participate in high school athletics year round. The award, which is given to student-athletes who participate in a KHSAA sport or sport-activity on the varsity level during each season of the academic year (fall/winters/spring), will be presented to a total of 1,814 student-athletes for 2017-18. The awards are based solely on each member school’s rosters that were submitted through the KHSAA’s online system, as that is the only permitted determinant for athletic eligibility (including team eligibility). A closer look at the breakdown of honorees for the 2017-18 academic year shows that: 266 of the 280 member schools have at least one honoree Three schools (Holy Cross-Lou., Oneida Baptist, and Pikeville) each have 22 award recipients, followed by Villa Madonna with 21, and McCracken County and Scott with 19 each By class, 465 seniors, 511 juniors, 458 sophomores, 318 freshmen, 43 eighth graders and 19 seventh graders were honored By gender, 838 females and 976 males qualified for the award. Further details on the breakdown of award recipients can be found at: 218 Triple Threat Award Listing – Student by School | Kentucky High School Athletic Association The KHSAA staff and Board of Control are proud to issue these first-time awards and look forward to continuing the program in the future to emphasize the values of participation and the now-documented likely negative aspects of sports specialization. 5/14/18 – New Triple Threat Award Recognizes Three-Season, Multi-Sport Athletes | Kentucky High School Athletic Association
June 1, 20188 yr Great list of kids for a great accomplishment. Congrats to them all. Noticed a few kids with 4 sports to their name.
June 1, 20188 yr Great accolade to have. Had my high school had a football team I would have played that too. At the time Bishop Brossart High School was too small and couldn't field a football team. I played basketball and baseball in high school. Just two sports was tough with the time requirements. Congrats to these young athletes!

Congrats to these young athletes! When I went to Brossart we played futbul since there was no football.
June 2, 20188 yr When I went to Brossart we played futbul since there was no football. That was against my code of ethics at the time, although I'll admit I would have made a hell of a goalkeeper.

June 2, 20188 yr Good recognition by the KHSAA, I just find it a bit conflicting considering the KHSAA has been very vocal about students being year round athletes being a bad thing.

June 3, 20188 yr Author Had to give you a dislike for that comment. LOL. Played both and my experience was that soccer was more of a challenge an I was a better soccer player than a football player any way.
