Spalding Sportsmanship Award honorees with Abby Stone<\/a> being\u00a0the UIndy’s representative for the distinguished award. The student-athletes chosen are individuals who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These individuals must also be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. The honorees are now eligible to become one of\u00a0their school’s two Spalding Sportsmanship Award winners, which will be announced later this month.
