Grand View University Men’s Golf Earns 2023 Musco Team Sportsmanship Award

For their display of the NAIA's Five Core Character Values of Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Sportsmanship & Servant Leadership, Grand View University has been selected the 2023 Musco Team Sportsmanship Award recipient for the sport of men's golf, announced by the Heart of America Athletic Conference.

"This award was developed by the Heart Association of Student-Athletes (HASA) and I am proud to see this award recognized for a second-straight year across the conference," said Heart of America Athletic Conference Commissioner Lori Thomas. "Under the direction of head coach Chris Winkel, the Vikings are very deserving of this award."

Teams are nominated by Athletics Administrators, Game Officials, Coaches, Student-Athletes and Fans.

Here is what the nominators had to say about the Vikings:

"The Grand View program plays the game of golf the right way, they respect their opponent, respect the golf course and carry themselves in a respectful manner throughout play. They are very deserving of this award."

For the spring season, the Heart will be awarding its Team Sportsmanship award to one team from each sport of men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, men's volleyball, baseball, softball, men's golf, women's golf and outdoor track & field.
