DELT COCKRELL - TRACK AND FIELD COACH OF THE YEAR 2015

Delt Cockrell - Caprock

Why Honored: Cockrell led the Caprock boys track and field program to new heights in 2015. The Longhorns won a District 3-5A championship, a Class 5A area title and the Class 5A regional championship for the first time in school history.

That same year, Cockrell coached T.J. Ledbetter, the first Caprock boys track athlete to win a gold medal since the school opened in the fall of 1963.

As a team the Longhorns finished in ninth place overall in the team standings.

Quotable: "I'm shocked. I wasn't expecting this and I'm very blessed to have this opportunity. I think it was a dedication to our coaches and our kids working hard. Our kids deserve all the credit and they showed how good they are. They knew the sky was the limit."
