TLU Men's Track and Field Awarded SCAC Team Sportsmanship Award

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA --  In an announcement made today from the league office, 14 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) winter and spring programs were recognized as a 2021-22 Sportsmanship Team recipient for their respective sport. Texas Lutheran Men's Track and Field was awarded the award for Men's Track and Field - a first time honor for the program.

Texas Lutheran Men's Track and Field finished second at the 2022 SCAC Championships and sent two student-athletes - Zachary Herman and Scottie Reyes - to the 2022 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

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 awards are currently presented in all 18 conference-sponsored sports, including 13 winter and spring sports: baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's golf, women's lacrosse, softball, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's tennis and men's and women's track and field. Earlier this year, five programs were honored during the fall season.

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.
