Awarded to the club with the most points scored in Bantam events (U14)
Columbia Canoe Club was founded by Pat Murphy in 1961 and incorporated in 1966. Pat was known to everyone as “Mrs. Murphy” and would go on to train many paddlers for several decades. Columbia Canoe Club also won the Yonker’s Canoe Club in 1967.
Mrs. Murphy was known to spend 8 to 10 hours a day with her paddlers at Columbia Lake and was quite serious about training champions. She excelled at bringing young paddlers into the sport and fought hard to keep the Bantam age class active and vibrant. She went so far as providing all of the National Bantam medals one year when the governing body did not.
The Bantam trophy was established to honor Mrs. Murphy and her legacy.
