Baseball, Track Teams Earn Sportsmanship Award

RICHARDSON, Texas — Three Hardin-Simmons’ spring sports teams won the Sportsmanship Award for the 2009 season that was voted on by the American Southwest Conference’s Student Athlete Advisory Committees on each campus.

The Cowboy baseball team along with the men and women’s track teams earned the honor this season.

The award, in its second academic year, honors the member institution in each ASC championship sport that best displays positive qualities of sportsmanship and fair play from its student-athletes, coaches and fans throughout the season.

“This is a prestigious honor for our teams,” said HSU athletic director John Neese. “When your teams win an award that is voted on by your peers it makes it that much more special. Sportsmanship is a big initiative in the NCAA and ASC and I am proud of our teams for earning the awards.”
