Dedicated January 2005

SUBMIT NOMINATIONS

Michael Murison (1979-2004) passed away in 2004 after battling a rare form of stomach cancer for over a year.  He was the Sailing Captain at the College of Marin and an avid racer.  Mikey owned V-15 #420 and raced it at Treasure Island in the North Americans a few years back and also sailed with Bart Hackworth, Dana Moore, and others on their boats. He started sailing at a very young age and had raced to Hawaii on the Pacific Cup when he was still in high school. For a while he owned a Santana 22 'Mizzen' and was the National Champ three times. While a student at the college of Marin he resurrected their sailing team and competed in the PCIYRA. He was on the US Olympic team sailing 470s in 2002 and had planned to sail with Doug Turnbull in Athens in the summer of 2003. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and was always upbeat.

The Michael Murison Memorial Sportsmanship Award shall be awarded each year to the sailor that best exemplifies the Corinthian ideals of sailing. This sailor has made contributions to college sailing through his/her efforts, not only by competing, but in the promotion of the sport, by fostering sportsmanship among teams, maintaining quality of competition, and contributing to the overall performance of our conference. This includes factors like team leadership, PCCSC leadership, college sailing dedication, interest and support of growth in (college) sailing, etc.

Nominations may be made by Undergraduates or Graduates involved in the Conference.  The recipient shall be the PCCSC nomination for the Robert Hobbs Award for Sportsmanship.
