Katie Beck was one of Aksarben Curling's most accomplished curlers. She was a three-time World Junior Curling Champion medalist, earning gold, silver, and bronze medals. In 2005, she was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma and died in 2006 at the age of 24.
To help honor the memory of Katie Beck and her many accomplishments, the Aksarben Curling Board of Directors decided to name our season championship cup after her: the Katie Beck Championship Cup.
Beck is remembered fondly by many curlers, both among Aksarben Curling and across the country. USA Curling created the Katie Beck Memorial Award, which has been given to junior curlers who exemplify Beck’s characteristics, including coachability, good sportsmanship, positive attitude, and commitment to competitive junior curling. |
