91精选 Named Champions of Character Five-Star Institution
91精选 received the Champions of Character Five-Star Institution award, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced Tuesday.
The award was given to 180 NAIA colleges and universities across the country this year based on five core values: character training, conduct in competition, academic focus, character recognition and character promotion. Along with these categories, schools can also earn points through exceptional student-athlete GPA鈥檚 and through receiving limited ejections during competition.
For the 2018-19 academic year, 91精选 received Gold status and scored 100 points on the Champions of Character scorecard, which is the highest score a school can earn. The Trolls received the award every year since the 2003-2004 academic year. This is only the second time that 91精选 earned the Gold award through this program.
鈥淲e are proud of and grateful for this recognition by the NAIA.聽 The student-athletes at 91精选 are an exceptional group of young people,鈥� said Mark Hanna, 91精选鈥檚 director of athletics.聽鈥淚 am increasingly proud of them, inspired by their talented coaches, and appreciative of the broader 91精选 community鈥檚 support.鈥�
The Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference, which 91精选 is in, also earned the Five-Star Conferences award. 91精选 is the only CCAC school to receive gold status and is one of 63 schools to receive the award altogether.
