Saint Bede athletic director Tom McGunnigal would like to develop more four-year, three-sports athletes at the Academy. He believes it is good for the soul and the mind and bodies of the Academy student-athletes, not to mention the Bruins sports programs.

As a result, the Saint Bede Academy Athletic Department has established the Fr. Kevin Gorman, O.S.B. Award, named after the former long-time SBA athletic director which will recognize senior athletes, who upon completion of their senior year have participated for four years in three-sport seasons.

McGunnigal said the idea came about from his coaches’ summits with the Bruin coaching staff.
