TOWSON, Md. -- The Landmark Conference named 47 student-athletes to the All-Sportsmanship Team for the fall season in an announcement from the league's office on Monday. The teams include one student-athlete from each member institutions for each fall sport within the conference. The honorees are selected by the players and coaches from their respective teams.
Elizabethtown's representatives are:
Tyler Alansky for men's cross country,
Colleen Kernan for women's cross country,
Abby Spessard for field hockey,
Alex Musgnug for men's soccer,
Allison Plotts for women's soccer, and
Elle Shatto for women's volleyball. Alansky is a two-time all-sportsmanship team honoree for the Blue Jays.
Of the 47 student-athletes selected, three were repeat honorees, including Alansky. Four were named to the All-Landmark Conference teams in their respective sports.
The All-Sportsmanship Team recognizes student-athletes who epitomize the ideals of sportsmanship. The student-athletes selected demonstrate fair play, graciousness in victory and respectfulness in defeat. They are ambassadors for the team, both on and off the field, and galvanize their teammates toward their goals. These student-athletes exhibit respect for themselves, teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, spectators, and the greater campus community.
The All-Sportsmanship Team was created by the Landmark Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) in 2013 as a way to highlight student-athletes who are making an impact. The Landmark previously awarded a Sportsmanship Cup before the All-Sportsmanship Team replaced the Cup for the 2013-14 academic year.
