A source close to the Connecticut Sports Writer's Alliance has confirmed that the organization will name Keith Rocco as its 2011 male athlete of the year in Connecticut.
A magical season behind the wheel competing at all three of Connecticut's short track facilities propelled Rocco, of Wallingford, to the 2010 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national championship. It was the first national title for the 26-year old Rocco.
The Connecticut Sports Writer's Alliance will announce Rocco as its male athlete of the year on Sunday.
Rocco is the first driver to win athlete of the year honors from the organization since they began the award in 1973.
He will be recognized by the organization at their annual Gold Key Dinner on April 17 at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington.
