“Mike Mittelstaedt loved track and field. He shared this “love of sport“ with every one of his athletes. It was not about winning, it was about improving; being better as a runner and as a person. He was loved by everyone he coached because “he dreamed your dream right alongside you.”
”Whether your dream was to make an Olympic team or simply to finish a 5k, Mike was right there at your side, every step of the way.”
In partnership with the New Mexico Activities Association ( NMAA) foundation and in conjunction with the Albuquerque Community Foundation, the Mike Mittelstaedt Memorial Scholarship Fund intends to continue Coach Mike’s legacy by offering two $1,000 scholarships to two NM track and field athletes every year.
Our goal is to give the next generation of NM athletes a chance to pursue their athletic dreams beyond high school and into college. We hope to endow these scholarships so they will continue to honor Mike for years to come.
Thank you to the generous supporters of the Mike Mittelstaedt Scholarship Fund for making this possible.
