Lifters/Coaches of the year?

Strength and Health magazine used to have a "Lifter of the Year" award which it gave out each year. The readers voted on it. Since our magazine is sporadic, at best, maybe the readers here would be interested in voting on Lifters of the Year, etc.
Using whatever criteria you want, what do you think? CHIME IN WITH YOUR OPINION... IT MAY BE BETTER THAN MINE.

MY votes for Lifters/Coaches of the Year in 2006:

Male
Sr. lifter of the year - Kendric Farris, with Casey Burgener and Chad Vaugn close behind.
Jr. Lifter of the year - Kendric Farris
SChoolage - James Moser

Female
Sr. - Natalie Woolfolk, with Cheryl Haworth, Jackie Berube, and Doreen Fulhart not too far behind
Jr. - Amber Davis & Natalie Friend
Schoolage - Kelly Lynch

COACH OF THE YEAR - KYLE PIERCE - With Kendric doing extremely well, and Cody Gibbs being one to watch for 2007 & 2008 and a possible Olympic Team member, Kyle deserves credit for their success.

DEVELOPMENTAL COACH OF THE YEAR - I would throw three names out here, as far as guys who work with young lifters.
1. - TIM SWORDS - His own kids are real talents, plus he has several others... Cameron Swart being one of the best ones.
2. - GLENN PENDLAY - Few, if any coaches, have had more lifters on more Jr. and SA teams than Glenn in the last 4-5 years, with Samantha Nichols and Caleb Ward being two of his latest.
3. - Dennis Snethen probably takes more lifters to more meets than anyone. The girls 13-15 team had 3 out of 7 off of his team, for example.
I SHOULD STATE THAT AS FAR AS COACHES, I AM TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE WHO COACHES A LIFTER ON A DAY-DAY BASIS.
