2023 Landmark Spring Sportsmanship Teams Announced
TOWSON, Md. - The Landmark Conference announced its Spring, 2023 All-Sportsmanship Teams on Wednesday afternoon. A total of seven Goucher student-athletes were honored across eight sports.
Dual sport athlete sophomore Molly Smith (Damascus, Md./Damascus) was honored in both women's golf and women's lacrosse.
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.
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.
The six other Goucher student-athletes recognized are:
- Kaman Wilkinson, senior, men's golf (Granbury, Texas/Godley)
- Dwayne Barnes, Jr., junior, men's lacrosse (Salisbury, Md./Parkside)
- Gabe Naftoly, first year, men's tennis (Newburyport, Mass./Berwick Academy)
- Ceri McCaffrey, senior, women's tennis (Ardsley, N.Y./Ardsley)
- Sean Whitfield, junior, men's outdoor track and field (Beltsville, Md./DeMatha Catholic)
- Ava Cox, sophomore, women's outdoor track and field (Elkton, Md./Elkton)
