KJAN’s Jim Field receives his IFCA Distinguished Service Award from Iowa Football Coach Kirk Ferentz

The Iowa Football Coaches Association held their 2016 Distinguished Service Awards Banquet on Friday at the Iowa Football Indoor Practice Facility in Iowa City and KJAN’s own Jim Field was honored.  The Distinguished service award is given by the organization to individuals that have provided years of service to Iowa High School Football.  Field was one of seven individuals that were honored at the event.  He was honored for 28 years of broadcasting Southwest Iowa football, covering countless games and conducting thousands of interviews.  He was nominated for the award by former Atlantic Head Football Coach Gaylord Schelling.

As part of the event honorees were able to tour the Iowa Football Facilities, take in spring practice for the Hawkeyes, and enjoy a program.  Iowa High School State Champion Coaches were also presented with their Championship rings at the event.
