07-08 Sports Performance Spirit Award
This award is given to a player who not only represents the true meaning of “Commitment to Excellence” but goes above and beyond that commitment. They are someone who has either overcome something in their personal life or overcame hurdles along the way as an athlete and never detoured off the path of working hard. Each player listed below has shown great character not only as an athlete but as a teammate, friend and competitor. We are proud to announce the winners of this year’s Spirit Award in each age group and would like to thank you for representing the Sports Performance program in the true spirit of our motto “Commitment to Excellence.”
