The Pack Performance group noted the following about this month's recipients:
"Eva has been steadfast in her training, and even with multiple minor setbacks, she stays on top of her rehab, training, and being a great teammate."
"Hunter is the epitome of a great teammate. He consistently brings a positive attitude, supports those around him, and puts the team ahead of himself. Hunter's attitude and willingness to serve others make him a valuable part of our program. He understands that being a great teammate is about more than what you do on the field; it's about how you show up every day and impact the people around you. Hunter represents the Heart of the Pack through his attitude, selflessness, and commitment to his teammates."
."Rance has been a great leader in the classroom, community, and his team. He has stepped up and has been in very visible spaces, representing athletics for mental health, community service, and was on the panel to represent athletes on campus recently.
About the Heart of the Pack Award
The Heart of the Pack award recognizes those student- athletes who consistently demonstrate the TEAM criteria:
Teammate: exhibiting selfless sacrifice that benefits the team
Effort: showing up daily with determination and grit
Attitude: demonstrating a consistently positive attitude
Mindful: being insightful and open-minded
Student-athletes in every sport will be evaluated and nominated on a monthly basis. The voting will be made by Pack Performance, an interdisciplinary team that work collaboratively in the commitment toward the holistic development of student-athletes.
The team consists of professionals from strength and conditioning, academics, sports medicine, mental health and performance psychology, sports nutrition and student-athlete engagement and leadership.
The award is sponsored by Modern Woodmen of America.
