Dan Zierke, third degree black belt, was honored by the Stevens Taekwondo YMCA Academy as the Outstanding Black Belt of 2007 at the December testing. Zierke, of Olsens Crop Service, has trained at the academy since January 2001.
Zierke was nominated for the award by fellow black belts who cited his contributions in teaching and noted his many areas of community and youth sports as a coach for Portage County Youth Soccer, as coach at YMCA flag football and indoor soccer, and as assistant scoutmaster.
The annual award, a memorial to black belt M. J. Attoe, who died in a 1994 car accident, was presented by Joyce Kavalauskas, Attoe’s mother.
