From Steve Wise, USTA Tennis On Campus Midwest Championship Director:
"Every year we offer a Sportsmanship Award to the team most deserving of this prestigous team award. They are voted on by their peers, and when it’s too close to call we get feedback from the officials as well. It has not been announced until now. Drum roll please…….…………… the winner is Michigan Tech University!!! Michigan Tech University’s club team demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship and heart throughout the event. They represented their University very well and they will receive a $350 stipend award (as well as a beautiful glass award) to offset their costs associated with travel to the National Campus Championship (if they have an at-large bid) or the Spring Invitational in Tucson, AZ!"
AMAZING!! 32 teams showed up to the event in Madison, WI for the tennis tournament and there were so many that were nice. I really feel that it is a result of my action to talk and interact with others schools. For instance, when I related to another school about their academic determination in finishing homework or when I ran up to the net after I lost a match to congratulate the guy in a fun spirited mood. The rest of our team was kind as well and they also were courteous and interactive (I know Nate was with ferris state for sure!). This is just extremely good news to find out about ON TOP of winning our very first match ever against another university. With the funds, a trip out to Arizona is now possible and a beautiful plaque will be on display.
