BEDFORD – Congratulations to WBIW Sports Writer Justin Sokeland on winning the Indiana Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Associtaion Award.
Joining WBIW in 2019, Justin has made it a point of emphasis to be at every BNL sporting event he can, and provides detailed information in every story he writes by building lasting relationships with the student-athletes, coaching staffs, and athletic directors.
“I’ve been honored to receive this award from the IIAAA. I appreciate the kind words, the nomination from good friend Chad Gilbert, the early support from Bob B. Bridge, and so many coaches, athletes, and athletic directors who have helped me along in 36 years of covering sports. And special thanks to my wife Susan Martin Sokeland and my family. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m not done yet,” said Sokeland on his Facebook page.
