CONTENTS

I appreciate that the report does not focus exclusively on maltreatment.

True Sport Principles:

  1. Go For It: Rise to the challenge â€“ always strive for excellence. Be persistent and discover how good you can be;
  2. Play Fair: Understand, respect, and follow the rules. Play with integrity – competition is only meaningful when it is fair;
  3. Respect Others: Show respect for everyone involved in creating your sporting experience, both on and off the field of play. Win with dignity and lose with grace;
  4. Keep It Fun: Find the joy in sport and share it with others. Remember what you love about sport and why you play;
  5. Stay Healthy: Always respect and care for your mind and body. Advocate for the health and safety of yourself and those around you;
  6. Include Everyone: Recognize and celebrate strength in diversity. Invite and welcome others into sport;
  7. Give Back: Say thanks and show gratitude. Encourage your sport group to make a difference in the community.

Navy won Men’s ECAC

Men’s Gymnastics has only 3 conferences: MPSF, ECAC, and Big Ten.

Going into ECAC (Eastern College Athletic Conference) Championships it was clear that Navy would take the cake and run away with the title, which they did with an astounding 401.85. Based on championships scores from around the country, this puts Navy in real contention to make the super six at NCAAs. While this feat is remarkable, it was not the story of the night. That belongs to Springfield College. 

Currently the only Division-III program in the country, the Pride led by Head Coach Matt Davis placed second at ECAC’s over Army 384.85 and William & Mary 385.2 with a 387.05, their highest ranking in the conference in ten years. Maybe the more impressive fact about this performance from Springfield is that this is the first time that Springfield has qualified to NCAAs as a team since 1977 when they were a DII program.  …
