WINONA LAKE — Grace College and Director of Athletics Chad Briscoe welcomed student-athletes from the high schools of the Three Rivers Conference for a Sportsmanship Summit on Tuesday.

Student-athletes from the TRC schools attended the conference, which was designed to educate student-athletes about sportsmanship and character training in athletics.

“We are pleased to be a part of building character at the high-school level through the Sportsmanship Summit,” Briscoe said. “We hope it served as a great opportunity to educate and reinforce character education and to help promote the importance of sportsmanship for each student-athlete.”

Students from TRC high schools spent the day together working in groups to discuss and challenge one another in sportsmanship and character-building opportunities in the athletic realm. The students worked in team-initiative opportunities to build camaraderie among the schools in the conference.

The Sportsmanship Summit featured sessions from Roger Grossman, Lenny Krebs and Briscoe. Student-athletes also took turns sitting on a panel and answering questions in a peer-to-peer teaching environment.
