Bothell resident Kari Studley, a Northshore High School mountain bike team head coach and leading physical therapist out of Kenmore’s Corpore Sano Phyiscal Therapy, recently won the “Coach of the Year” award at the 2011 National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) Awards.

Studley was recognized for her work in starting a largely successful high school mountain bike team in the Northshore area.

The program was so successful, each of the Northsore schools (Bothell, Inglemoor and Woodinville) will start their own teams next season.

Studley has also raced well this year, winning the U.S. National Cyclocross Single Speed National Championships in Madison, Wis. on Jan. 5, and placing sixth two days later in the 30-34 Masters group.

She is also a five-time Washington State Cyclocross champion, and races professionally with Team Redline, out of Kent.
