BAC Athletes Of The Month
|
BAC’s “Athlete of the Month” Awards are intended to recognize athletes who are committed to the improvement of themselves as well as to their team, and who may not necessarily be the top performer in the water. These awards may be given to any athlete who has shown dedication, a positive attitude, and a strong desire to learn. By demonstrating support for their teammates, a willingness to compete and to be challenged, and respect for their sport and its participants, these athletes have embodied and upheld the goals of the club. With their energy and presence these members enrich the entire program, and for that they should be honored.
