In nominating her for the award, Mayor Kitty Piercy noted that <br />McManus was a primary contributor to, and driving force for, the development of Youth <br />Legacy Projects during the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Track and Field Trials, specifically <br />targeting the rising youth obesity issue. <br /> <br />“Kim has clearly demonstrated her skills in creating Youth Legacy Projects that inspire youth <br />of all ages to participate and get involved. Kim has proven her organizational skills in aligning <br />many different agencies locally, statewide and even nationally to work together in creating <br />opportunities for youth to participate in healthy lifelong activities. Finally, Kim has shown the <br />individualized dedication and commitment it takes to have such a significant impact on the <br />lives of thousands of youth,” Mayor Piercy said. <br /> <br />Kim’s work on Youth Legacy Projects included organizing over 25 local non-profit youth <br />organizations to form the Youth Track Coalition – “Run, Jump, Throw” to promote the sport of track and field. She <br />initiated “The Starting Block,” an interactive area for youth to learn about track and field events and test their skills. <br />(Watch a video on The Starting Block.) And she made significant changes to the 2012 Youth Leadership Camp that <br />was created for the 2008 Olympic Trials. More than 100 high-school-age youth came to Eugene during the 2012 <br />Olympic Trials for an experiential camp where they heard from world class athletes, coaches, and leaders in Track and <br />Field. <br /> <br />The Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports Fitness Leadership Award recognizes Oregonians who <br />promote physical activity and wellness through awareness and events, and recognizes achievements and practices <br />that contribute to the health and well-being of Oregonians.
