SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD
At each of the WIAA State Team Tournaments, one school and community is selected to receive the Rural Insurance State Sportsmanship Award, with honorable mention recognition also given to schools who are under consideration for the overall award.
The selection process for the State Tournament Sportsmanship Awards includes input from contest officials, tournament management, police and security personnel, crowd control and ushers, and WIAA Staff members. These observers judge the conduct and sportsmanship of coaches and athletes, cheer and support groups, mascots, bands, student groups and adult spectators. Also measured is the effort by school administrators and chaperones during the tournament to keep the support for their teams and student-athletes positive and enthusiastic.
WIAA also may solicit input from hotels, restaurants and business people in the city where WIAA State events take place in order to make appropriate measurements relative to the sportsmanship of communities and teams as they attend State Tournament competition. Sportsmanship by coaches and fans at regional and sectional contests prior to the State Tournament may also be taken into consideration.
The WIAA considers the Rural Insurance State Tournament Sportsmanship Award a prestigious honor. It’s truly a community award and one that grows in stature and importance as the years pass.
Mineral Point has received the award in the following years: 2011 (Wrestling), 2015 (Boys Basketball), and 2016 (Girls Basketball), along with honorable mention accolades other years. We would very much like to add another honor this year! Thank you for your cooperation.
