Golden Bobcats - Unsung Hero Nominations - Montana State University Athletics

Unsung Hero
Jeff Tremper
Weight Coach

"He genuinely cares deeply about us as students, athletes, and people and is always making sure that we are going to be in peak shape when the time comes. He makes sure to say positive and encouraging things when we are improving and makes sure that each of us knows that he cares for us and wants us to succeed and be able to compete to the best of our abilities. He is understanding when we have other things going on in life and sees when we need a break or may need to go a little easier. He is always coming up with new ideas for how we can warm up better or how to develop our bodies in the way that will help us improve in our individual track events. I believe Jeff really is a rock in our program and he should be acknowledged for all the unbelievable dedication and hard work he puts into this program."

Spirit Squad

"They do so much for every team. Game days would be drastically different without the hard work and amazing attitudes these young women and men put into their sport. Are active and provide an amazing atmosphere to a variety of sports for Bobcat Athletics."

Maddy Shaide
Women's Basketball

"Maddy is one of the toughest student athletes, best teammates, and shows up every day with a commitment to get better. She is passionate about MSU, outreach, and has contagious energy and competitiveness that continues to impact those around her."

Kaylee Oyler
Track & Field

"Kaylee has battled injury since the moment she got to MSU. She has not had hardly any chances to compete yet has been one of the most supportive and dedicated teammates. She shows up to every practice, and competition even if it means driving 8 hours through a blizzard just to support her team. She is always positive and encouraging and has worked extremely hard to overcome her setbacks!"

Alex Jardine
Weight room

"Like all weight room staff, Alex works long hours. He is incredibly supportive and available to his athlete. He is always willing to help and to work with the individual athlete to create the most beneficial program for them. Alex is concerned not only with the physical aspects of training but also cognizant and supportive of the mental aspects."

Jackson Brown
Alpine Ski Team Manager

"The alpine skiing team manager who has taken it upon himself to be a critical part of the team even without being asked to. Jackson has been a fantastic addition to the team this year and willing to help the coaches or athletes with anything he could help with."

Ellen Brooks
Cross Country and Track

"Ellen is incredibly well-deserving of this award. Although her short stature and quiet voice may make her go unnoticed at times, her actions speak volumes and have helped her team and Bobcat athletics immensely. She is a SAAC representative who has devoted herself to virtually everything SAAC has done. From volunteering as a One Love facilitator to helping plan the student-athlete holiday party, Ellen does it all, and she does so without much recognition. Ellen is a great teammate who will always stand up for others and do what is right, even when it's not easy. She can sense when someone is struggling and is often the first to reach out and show support."
