Congratulations to Cale Bigelow for receiving the William Daniel Award on January 19 at the Sports Field Management Association (SFMA) Conference. Named for one of the four founders of SFMA, Dr. William Daniel set the pattern for educator/researcher involvement in SFMA. The partnership between educators and researchers and the sports turf managers who incorporate these advances in on-the-field applications is key to the progress of the industry. The Daniel Award recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions to the industry through research, teaching or extension.
