The Hatch Award

The Hatch Award

created in 2007

donated by the friends and family of Carol Castellino, Hatch’s owner

In memory of Hatch, Apu Two Thirds of Niner

Hatch was tragically killed at the 2007 LGRA Nationals when he escaped from the host hotel.  He showed exceptional promise as a racer, having earned 7.5 GRC points in just five meets.  It is hoped that many will follow in his footsteps.

The Hatch LGRA Award for Basenji is presented to the most promising Basenji racer of the year, as determined by the Award Committee.
