Schettler helped guide the boys cross country team to the Division 2 state championship last year.
Annually, the NFHS identifies and recognizes a coach from each state for significant achievement in their sport. State level recipients are considered for NFHS Sectional recognition. National Coaches of the Year are then chosen from the sectional winners.
Award recipients are selected based on a variety of criteria, including their coaching record, background, coaching honors, and involvement in community and school organizations.
Each year about 1,000 coaches are recognized at the state level, 168 coaches at the sectional level and 21 coaches at the national level.
Wisconsin coaches are members of Section 4, which represents Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
