Meurer has led the Bluejay girls to six South Central Conference championships and the boys to two since 2002.

Meurer guided both Waseca teams to state last year. The girls captured the section and state championships, while the boys were section champs and finished sixth in the state.

The Waseca girls won nine of 10 races and compiled an overall record of 119-2 last fall.

Meurer attributed the award to a great coaching staff and dedicated athletes who put in the off-season work to make them strong during the season.
