More Than Just Medals
These student-athletes—many of whom balanced long practices with academic pressures, late-night bus rides, and weekend tournaments—showed up for their teams in every sense of the word. Some are seasoned seniors who have led by example for years; others are freshmen who surprised their coaches and teammates with standout performances in their very first season.
