John McNichols honored by Indiana General Assembly with joint resolution

INDIANAPOLIS – Today both the Indiana House and Senate passed joint resolutions honoring the life and achievements of late Sycamore head coach John McNichols, who passed away back in December at the age of 66.

Today's resolution came about from the efforts of Rep. Clyde Kersey and Sen. Jon Ford.

"The good work of John McNichols has spread far beyond the borders of Terre Haute," Kersey said. "His influence was felt nationally and internationally through his efforts on the NCAA Track Rules Committee and the 1996 Atlanta Olympic committee."

"John McNichols was not only a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather, but an outstanding man and coach," Kersey concluded.
