ST. AUGUSTINE – The Flagler College men's cross country team has been singled out for the second consecutive year by its peers in the Peach Belt Conference. The men's team was selected as the winners of the league's Team Sportsmanship Award, just as they did last year.

The fall sports team sportsmanship awards were released recently by the conference office. Augusta State University took home the award for volleyball while UNC Pembroke was the winner on the men's soccer side. Columbus State University and Georgia Southwestern State University shared the women's soccer sportsmanship honors. The University of Montevallo took home the honors for women's cross country.

The team sportsmanship award program presents an award following each championship season to the team in that sport that best exemplifies the spirit of sportsmanship and generally conducts themselves with a high degree of integrity, character and class. The team award is selected by other teams who compete in that sport. Points are awarded based on how each team finished in the voting and in June, the institution with the highest totals will receive the “PBC Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award.”
