Arthur L. Trester Award for Mental Attitude through 2007-08
At
the state finals, members of the IHSAA Executive Committee present the Trester Award to the outstanding senior participant in each
classification of the boys’ basketball state finals. The recipients of this
award, who were nominated by their principals and coaches, must excel in mental
attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability in basketball. Farm
Bureau Insurance, IHSAA corporate partner, presents a $1,000 scholarship to
each school in the name of the recipient.
From
1917 to 1943 the award was known as “The Gimbel Medal
for Mental Attitude” in honor of Mr. Jake Gimbel of
Recipients
were given a medal each year from 1945 through 1964, hence “The Arthur L. Trester Medal for Mental Attitude.” Since 1965, the award
has been made in the form of a plaque with a copy of the original medal
incorporated on the face of the plaque, hence “The Arthur L. Trester Award for Mental Attitude.”
