AMY MILLER/TIMES NEWS Ray Berger of the Palmerton team was awarded the fourth annual Philip Steigerwalt Memorial Walk plaque for his third place finish in the men's 60 to 64 division of the walk. The award began after Philip Steigerwalt, a senior games participant, collapsed and passed away on the field, following his third place finish in the walk in 2007. Steigerwalt was in the 60 to 64 division. Since then, the third place finisher in that division receives the honorary award in Steigerwalt's name.
