Mark Jastrzembski has given more than 20 years of his time to many area groups, particularly the West Michigan Speedskating club and the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex.  Fitting the job description of the Distinguished Service Award to a ‘T’, Jastrzembski has almost single-handedly run the speedskating organization for nearly 20 years, seldom missing a practice.  The club has produced many top skaters, including the organization’s first national champion, Grand Haven’s Kelly Anderson, as well as Caledonia’s Kimberly Derrick, who competed in the 2006 Winter Olympics held in Italy.  Jastrzembski is also the founder of the Michigan Winter Triathlon, and Muskegon’s Wintersportsfest.
