SUWANEE, GA — In an announcement made today from the league office, nine Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) spring programs were recognized as a 2024 Sportsmanship Team recipient for their respective sport. Texas Lutheran Men’s Track and Field was awarded the award for Men’s Track and Field for the third consecutive season, a first in the history of the award, while Women’s Track and Field earned the honors for the second time in program history and second consecutive year.
With both programs taking home honors, it marks the fourth time in SCAC history that one institution has earned top marks in both men’s and women’s track and field. The Bulldogs, who also swept the honors last season, are joined by Colorado College (2017) and Southwestern (2018) in achieving the honor.
The SCAC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee instituted the award prior to the 2016-17 academic year in an effort to honor the team that best portrays good sportsmanship and fair play from the players and coaches during the season. The spring awards are presented in baseball, men’s and women’s golf, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and men’s and women’s track and field. Earlier in the academic year, fall and winter sports programs were recognized with Texas Lutheran also earning the honors in volleyball.
The awards were voted on by each member institution’s SAAC, with each individual group ranking the top three teams in each sport. The first place selections were awarded five points, second place earned three points and third place earned one point. Points were then totaled to select the conference’s overall winner.
