Kristin Caperton Inspiration Award
Does your team include a decathlete who has overcome great challenges and has inspired others? The Kristin Caperton Inspiration Awards are given by the USAD Board of Directors to student decathletes who demonstrate a high degree of dedication and performance in the face of difficult challenges and circumstances. The Board welcomes nominations from USAD coaches during the course of each competition year for two separate awards. These awards are presented to any student in any level of competition.
