University of Delaware figure skating coach Pam Gregory, who works with World Champion Kimmie Meissner, has been named the Professional Skaters Association Coach of the Year.

Gregory was honored with the EDI award during the organization's conference held May 25-27 in Charleston, S.C. The EDI awards symbolize “education and dedication international,” and are given in memory of Edi Scholdan, a World and Olympics coach and the first president of the Professional Skaters Association.

I'm not sure if it's the same award but Robin Wagner- coach of Hughes during the SLC games- won a "Coach of the Year" award IIRC.
