WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -Â The Landmark Conference announced seven Lycoming College student-athletes were selected to its Fall All-Sportsmanship team on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 21.
The Landmark Student-Athlete Advisory Committee created the All-Sportsmanship Team in 2023 to recognize student-athletes who epitomize the ideals of sportsmanship. The student-athletes serve as ambassadors for the team — both on and off the field — and lead their teammates toward their goals. The honorees exhibit respect for themselves, their teammates, coaches, opponents, spectators, and the greater campus community.
Each team nominated one individual who embodied these ideals throughout the 2024 season to be a member of the Landmark All-Sportsmanship team. The student-athletes' coaching staff selected the nominee for the honor.
The honorees include the following Warriors:
