The women's indoor track and field team led all squads with 17 total athletes honored with the award. Women's soccer and women's outdoor track and field followed with 13 honorees each.
Baseball was next with seven award winners, and SUU's women's cross country, men's golf, softball and men's outdoor track and field each earned five.
Men's basketball, women's basketball and men's indoor track and field each collected four recognitions, with women's tennis garnering three and women's golf and men's cross country each having two.

Former Wyandotte High School basketball coach Wendell Moore will join Matt Brown’s staff as UMKC assistant basketball coach.
Moore spent the last two years as an assistant under Rex Walters at Florida Atlantic. Moore replaces Kareem Richardson, who left to become an assistant at Drake.
Moore spent five years at Wyandotte early in the decade and led the Bulldogs to a 14-7 record in 2004.
NOTICE: Since I'm a Valpo Fan and Valpo is moving on to the Horizon League next season, I'm looking for some fan of one of the remaining (or new) Summit schools to take over this blog. If you are interested, email me.
I'm a retired Software Engineer with Boeing, a supply preacher with the Central States Synod of the ELCA, a White Sox fan (first), a Cardinals fan (second), and a Valparaiso University Basketball fan.
