Urwiller Selected as Sterling's Men's Cross Country Champion of Character

WICHITA, Kan. — The Tabor College men's cross country team has been awarded the KCAC Champions of Character Team of the Year honor for their sport in the 2023 season. Champions of Character award winners from each institution have also been chosen. The KCAC Team of Character and Champions of Character awards are sponsored by IMA Financial Group, and both were based on the NAIA Champions of Character award. A team is recognized in each sport, as voted on by their peer coaches.
 

The Bluejays have been involved in a variety of service projects throughout the year. These include, but are not limited to:

• Volunteering in local church youth group activities.
• Starting a running club on campus for those who aren't on an athletic team. One of the team members formed this club, and other team members have helped set up races and courses for this group.
• Working multiple volleyball and soccer matches at Tabor.

Committed to advancing character-driven athletics, the NAIA Champions of Character program aims to inspire student-athletes, coaches, officials, and fans to hold high standards and embody what character truly means in a competitive arena. By keeping the five core values of integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership at the heart of the athletics experience, the Champions of Character program empowers participants to change the culture of sport.

The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference Champions of Character awards are presented by IMA Financial Group, and are awarded to the student-athletes and team who best represent the mission of the Champions of Character Program.
