Casey Galvanek, coach of the U.S. men’s Olympic four and head coach of Sarasota Crew, was awarded the Order of Ikkos from the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC). The Order of Ikkos recognizes the efforts of America’s finest coaches and is awarded by Olympic medal-winning athletes to acknowledge a coach for their leadership in achieving world-class success. Each medal-winning team may give the award to one coach or mentor. The award is named for Ikkos, the first recorded coach in Ancient Greece who coached two athletes to gold in the pentathlon.
