Roger Giger named Girls Track and Field Official of the Year

During the first weekend of MSHSAA state track and field championships, the organization and the NFHS honored Roger Giger.

He was named the 2022-23 Missouri Girls Track and Field Official of the Year, given each year to an individual who has made a lifelong commitment to the ideals of officiating interscholastic sports.

Giger, a resident of Camden Point, has been an official for the past 32 years. He also spent many years coaching and teaching, ultimately retiring as principal of North Platte High School in 2012.

He said coaching and officiating have given him an opportunity to witness second-generation athletes come up through the ranks.

Giger thanks his family for their support and MSHSAA for presenting him with the award on May 20.
