McCambridge, who is pursuing a master's degree in exercise science with a concentration in exercise physiology, was recently named as one of three recipients for the John Stucky Award presented by the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches association  (CSCCa). McCambridge, a native of Lewis Center, Ohio, assists Auburn Olympic sports strength and conditioning coach Bryan Karkoska `94 in his work with the swimming and diving team.

The other recipients of the 2009 John Stucky Award  were Megan Young, an Auburn athletic department employee, and John Patten III of Duke University. The three winners emerged from a field of 80 candidates reviewed by a panel of master strength and conditioning coaches.

The award is presented in honor of the late John Stucky, an original board member of the CSCCa who contributed to the field of strength and conditioning as a mentor to countless coaches.

McCambridge earned the award by virtue of her outstanding performance on the practical portion of the CSCCa certification exam. The panel of master strength and conditioning coaches asks John Stucky Award candidates questions regarding conditioning, wam-up, proper strength and conditioning training techniques and other facets of program design essential to the implementation of safe and effective strength and conditioning programs.
