Six Blue Jays named to Landmark All-Sportsmanship teams

TOWSON, Md. — The Landmark Conference has named 51 student-athletes to the All-Sportsmanship Team. The team includes one student-athlete from each institution for each sport and is selected by the players and coaches from their respective team.

The All-Sportsmanship Team recognizes student-athletes who epitomize the ideals of sportsmanship. The student-athletes selected demonstrate fair play, graciousness in victory and respectfulness in defeat. They are ambassadors for the team, both on and off the field, and galvanize their teammates toward their goals. These student-athletes exhibit respect for themselves, teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, spectators, and the greater campus community.

All-Landmark First Team and All-Mideast Region performers Matt Shenk and Casey Quinto were selected to represent the men's and women's cross country teams. Senior Cal Graziano drew the honor for men's soccer while Maria Boretti was nominated for women's soccer. Halley Donlin was voted to represent the field hockey team and Victoria Leidy is the volleyball team's representative.

Of the 51 student-athletes on the All-Sportsmanship Team, 12 were named All-Landmark. Connor Cole (USMMA Men's Cross Country) also earned Rookie of the Year recognition. Five student-athletes are repeat selections from a year ago, and were described as leaders and difference-makers on their teams.

The All-Sportsmanship Team was created by the Landmark Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) in 2013 as a way to highlight student-athletes who are making an impact. The Landmark previously awarded a Sportsmanship Cup before the All-Sportsmanship Team replaced the Cup for the 2013-14 academic year.
