Category: Sports feature

Headline/title of entry: New athletic director Raube says she has big shoes to fill !
literally
Contestants name: Michael Corrion
College name: Delta College
Judges comments: Fun lead! (Really, how could you write anything else when Raube" s
replacing a guy who wears size 15s?)
This was a nice, conversational story about Delta" s new athletic director. You covered her
background at Delta (did she work anywhere before Delta?) and her goals for her new
position, and you got some nice quotes from her.
I would have liked to see quotes from a couple of other people# maybe the former AD
or a coach or two who worked with her when she was the head athletic trainer and the
strength and conditioning coach only.
Small complaints, though. Nice work.
