Student-athletes and coaches were celebrated as part of NCSD’s 16th Annual Middle-Level Sportsmanship Champions Awards. Throughout the school year, these student-athletes exhibit excellent sportsmanship by participating in academic and athletic activities while also serving as leaders in the classroom.

The Sportsmanship Champions Awards recognize and celebrate the outstanding qualities of leadership, fairness, strong character, teamwork, and compassion exhibited by students and coaches.

During the celebration, students reflected on what sportsmanship meant to them. Respecting your teammates and others, attitude & effort, and having fun while competing were common thoughts shared by students and coaches alike.
